Mary's Shelter on EWTN!

‌

Dear Friends of Mary's Shelter VA,

We are excited to share a video that aired last night on EWTN's Pro Life Weekly, hosted by Catherine Hadro. Catherine and her team came to visit a few weeks ago to meet some of our past and present moms and highlight the good works of Mary's Shelter. As Catherine said after meeting these courageous young women "I was touched by their strength." We believe you will share those feelings.

The show will re-air on Sunday at 12:30 pm ET and again on Tuesday at 1:30 pm ET. The show can also be livestreamed on the EWTN.com website, YouTube page, or livestreamed on EWTN Pro-Life Weekly’s social media pages on Twitter and Facebook.

You can watch the video HERE

We hope you enjoy this program. Please pray for the families we have served and those we are presently serving. Those prayers are felt!

On behalf of all at Mary's Shelter,

Kathleen Wilson

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
