Diving into Freedom

I just stumbled across this absolutely wonderful reflection from the Sisters of Life, and I would like to share it with all of you! Please feel free to pass it along to others, its message is so badly needed in this day and age.

An excerpt:

You are made in the image and likeness of God, springing forth from the heart of the Trinity. You are made in the image of Christ. You reflect a unique aspect of the FACE of GOD that no one before you or after you will ever bear. You are unrepeatable, precious, and sacred. God loved and willed you into existence, and it is His personal, intimate, passionate love for you right now, that is holding you in being. If God stopped loving you for a split nanosecond, not only would you cease to exist, but it would be as if you never were. Our hearts were created by God and for God, and nothing less than the Infinite One can satisfy us. Only friendship with God can satisfy the deepest longings for freedom and love in our hearts.

Each life is irreplaceable

I came across this today... so true, so true. May we all stop and think about what is being said when the "dangers" of "overpopulation" are touted. Overpopulation, my foot. Europe is dying (case in point: pregnant women in northern Italy are now going to be offered money to not have an abortion.), and the rest of the planet is not far behind. All people are of great worth and value. Tell me, who are you going to go up to and say "You don't deserve to live." ????


Of course, it's the girls, the unborn, the disabled, the elderly, the poor....
