Palabra de Vida diCieMbre de 2013 Citas para el boletín “Cuando se hable de un niño como de una carga, o se lo considere como medio para satisfacer una necesidad emocional, nosotros intervendremos para insistir en que cada niño es don único e irrepetible de Dios, que tiene derecho a una familia unida en el amor”. ~Juan Pablo II, Santa Misa en el National Mall, Washington, DC, 7 de octubre de 1979 “Amen a sus hijos, en ellos ustedes pueden ver al Niño Jesús. Recen mucho por ellos y póngalos cada día bajo la protección de María Santísima”.

~Santa Gianna Beretta Molla “Cada uno, según sus posibilidades, su profesionalidad y su competencia, debe sentirse siempre impulsado a amar y servir a la vida, desde su inicio hasta su ocaso natural. En efecto, es compromiso de todos acoger la vida humana como don que se debe respetar, tutelar y promover, mucho más cuando es frágil y necesita atención y cuidados, sea antes del nacimiento, sea en su fase terminal”.

Benedicto XVI, “Acojan la vida, antes del nacimiento y en su fase terminal”, Discurso del Ángelus, 3 de febrero de 2008

“La lucha para el derecho a la vida no es la causa de unos pocos, pero la causa de cada hombre, mujer y niño que se preocupa no solo por su familia, sino por toda la familia humana”.

~ Dra. Mildred Jefferson, médica pro vida “El derecho a la vida es el primero de los derechos humanos”.

~ Papa Francisco, discurso a los ginecólogos católicos, 20 de septiembre de 2013

“Si pudiera lograr una sola cosa sería: si alguna vez te encuentras en esta situación [embarazo no planeado] o si una hermana o prima o tu mejor amiga tiene ese problema, hay recursos disponibles”.

~ Molly Anne Dutton, estudiante de la Universidad de Auburn concebida por violación, entregada en adopción, y quien compartiera su testimonio durante su discurso de aceptación como Reina de la Universidad, 12 de octubre de 2013

“La vida es demasiado preciosa, no la destruyas. La vida es la vida; lucha por ella”. ~ Beata Teresa de Calcuta

“Por consiguiente, el aborto no es una elección inevitable. El apoyo amoroso de la familia, amigos y consejeros puede marcar una diferencia enorme”.

~ Dra. Sandra Makhorn, “La vida importa: Embarazo por una violación”, 2013-14, artículo del Programa Respetemos la Vida 2013-14

Word of Life deCeMBer 2013 Bulletin Briefs “When a child is described as a burden or is looked upon only as a means to satisfy an emotional need, we will stand up and insist that every child is a unique and unrepeatable gift of God, with the right to a loving and united family. ~ Pope John Paul II, Holy Mass on the National Mall, October 7, 1979 “Love your children. In them you can see Baby Jesus. Pray for them a lot and every day put them under Holy Mary’s protection.”

~Saint Gianna Beretta Molla “Each according to his or her possibilities, profession and responsibilities, should feel in themselves an obligation to love and serve life, from its beginning to its natural end. It is, in fact, everyone's duty to welcome human life as a gift to be respected, protected and promoted, even more so when it is fragile and in need of attention and care, either before birth or when it is in its final stages."

~ Pope Benedict XVI, “Welcome Life, Before Birth and in its Final Stages,” Angelus Address, February 3, 2008

“The fight for the right to life is not the cause of a special few, but the cause of every man, woman and child who cares not only about his or her own family, but the whole family of man.”

~ Dr. Mildred Jefferson, Pro-life Physician “The right to life is the first among human rights.”

~ Pope Francis, Address to Catholic Gynecologists, September 20, 2013

“If I could accomplish one thing it would be: if you ever find yourself in this situation [unplanned pregnancy] or have a sister, or a cousin, or a best friend that’s in trouble, there are resources out there.”

~ Molly Anne Dutton, Auburn University student who was conceived in rape, placed for adoption, and shared her testimony during her Homecoming Queen acceptance speech, October 12, 2013

“Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.” ~ Blessed Mother Teresa

“Abortion, therefore, is not an inevitable choice. The loving support of family, friends and counselors can make a huge difference.”

~ Dr. Sandra Makhorn, “Life Matters: Pregnancy from Rape,” 2013-14 Respect Life Program article, www.usccb.org/about/pro-life-activities/respect-life-program/2013/life-matters-pregnancy-from-rape.cfm
