Sorry for the late posts…I had some complications with posting last week. BUT regardless, here’s just a quick reflection on a Pro life x All Saints Day Mass I was able to attend!
I was very touched by the homily given. So here’s a bit of it I was able to grasp on paper:
“The world says its a normal thing in life to abort a child. That it’s okay and that it just happens. This is how the devil works and that sometimes we don’t want to hear it. That we don’t like to hear unpleasant things. But this is the reality of where we are today. That the devil is working very hard to take away our responsibilities and realizations that everyday life is being taken away.
From the start of conception, there is already another trinity that is forming life. That the part from man, and the part from woman, is combined thus forming not just life in the stomach, but a SOUL. That is already more than enough to define life. That not 20 days after, not months after, but the MOMENT of conception, there is a soul.
Its no coincidence that this pro life mass falls on All Saints Day. That we are not just celebrating the Saints we know of today, but the Saints of the FUTURE. This is why the devil works so hard in wanting to get rid of life before it is even born. We need to fight for all life. At every stage. Everyday, thousands of the unborn are aborted. It would take days to wipe out Vancouver if those unborn were us in replacement. Let that sink in the reality of how many Saints aren’t being able to love here on earth.”
Beautiful. It really affirms us as CFC-Youth serving in the greater family ministries and the Catholic community because it shows that we are protecting life at ALL its stages. From Womb to tomb. KFC to CFC, SOLD, HOLD etc etc…Beautiful.
It also affirms us as CFC-Youth that we need to be advocates for life. Everyone is called to sainthood. Even the unborn. We could be saving the lives of the future church leaders, our own community leaders, to Saints…
We as Catholic Missionaries/Leaders in our community are all products of a greater love for life…Makes you appreciate life a bit more eh?
