Reflection

God is the source of all life. To him we owe our very being and his plan for each of us is to be raised to everlasting life with him in heaven. Our faith calls us to express our gratitude for this gift by the respect which we show for our own lives and the lives of all God’s creatures. As well as living our lives as fully as possible, we should also oppose anything which threatens or degrades human life.
