DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

"SHE CARRIED LOVE INCARNATE IN HER WOMB"

La vierge enceinte Daniel Hallé

Église paroissiale Saint-Pierre, Saint-Pierre-lès-Nemours

Commenting on the passage where "a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, 'Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts that You sucked!" (Lk 11:27), the holy doctor (St. Anthony) says

"Blessed, therefore, is the womb of the glorious Virgin who for nine months was worthy to carry all goodness, the highest goodness, the bliss of angels and reconciliation of sinners."

Elsewhere he writes that "She possessed within Her the compactness of love-for nine months She carried Love Incarnate in Her womb."

From The Marian Devotion of St. Anthony of Padua
