Pro Life

  One of our basic beliefs as Christians is our relationship with God as co-creators. We have been gifted and are called to be part of the ongoing process of creation. Our very nature is one of life-givers, to be a life - giver brings joy to our experience of life. While to act contrary to our nature opens our lives to unnecessary sadness and  suffering.

                One of the great challenges we face is to live as life-givers in the “culture of death”.  We find ourselves in caught up in a society that does not share our outlook on life. And condoms behaviors that are damaging to the individual, as well as society.

                So what can one do? Most of us will not be involved in large scale protest to do with pro-life issues. But, we can encourage a life-giving atmosphere within our own lives. A warm greeting is a pro-life activity, to partake in the worship of our Faith Community is a pro life activity, to refuse to be entertained by stories of twisted lives is a pro life activity and I know there are many others.

                These are but a few small suggestions, I felt could be part of  my life. But, inspite of  the smallness of our actions, in faith both you and I  know we are contributing to the well-being of creation, which is a worthy response to God’s call.
