Reflection
God
has carefully, lovingly created every person—in His own image and
likeness—to be in a loving relationship with Himself. From each tiny
child knit within a mother’s womb, to every person approaching death,
all are loved perfectly and completely by God. “It is therefore a
service of love,” Pope Saint John Paul II explains, “which we are all
committed to ensure to our neighbor, that his or her life may be always
defended and promoted, especially when it is weak or threatened [emphasis added]” (Evangelium vitae, 77).
In
a world in which the most vulnerable are so often overlooked and
disregarded, Christ calls us to embrace and uphold the unconditional
dignity of every human life. In doing so, we help to build “a new
culture of life, the fruit of the culture of truth and of love” (EV, 77).
