PRAYING THE WAY OF THE INCARNATION: RETURNING TO NAZARETH - DAY 15 FIFTH STATION "As Mary takes leave of her dear friends, Elizabeth and Zechariah, and their newborn baby, she turns northward with her feet, heavenward and inward with her heart. She recalls the wonderful birth of John, reliving the event, remembering excited faces and rejoicing, marveling at the beautiful little body of that baby. There is no treasure so precious and captivating as the small body of a newborn baby old in months but new in the brilliance of daylight!... For truly it is one of Life's great secrets: every newborn child is a witness to the Prince of Peace, and every birth day a little Christmas." From Unborn Jesus Our Hope A MORNING OFFERING Oh my Jesus, thank You for this Christmas season. This is a time of hope! Help me to turn my heart with joy to You, the babe in Mary's womb. Help the celebration of Your birth be a reminder to me of how precious each life is to You. Visit the website: Unborn Word Alliance Visit the blog version of: Unborn Word of the day |
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.
