WORD OF LIFE
Every human lilfe is sacred and a unique gift, and during this Respect Life month I invite you to not just respect life, but to love it and defend it! If there’s something in the Church’s teachings on life issues or sexual ethics that you don’t agree with, then give the Church a chance by examining why She teaches as She does. You might be surprised by what you learn. But don’t do it for the sake of the Church. Do it for yourself. You are too precious in God’s eyes not to. (Rev. Timothy S. Reid, Homily, St. Matthew Catholic Church, Charlotte, N.C. October 1, 2006)
