Gospel of Life

Many members of the Seminary community will be traveling to Washington D.C. this weekend to walk in the annual March for Life and to give witness to Jesus Christ's desires for healing and a new culture of life.  We invite you to join our community in reading and praying with these words from Blessed Mother Teresa:

And today, we look to the world to see that little one, that unborn child, has become the target of death, the target of destruction, of destroying of killing. And to think that God says, even if a mother could forget --- but it is impossible for the a mother to forget. But even if a mother could forget, I will not forget you. And yet today, the mother forgets her child. Not only forgets it, but destroys it. And for what? The mother is afraid of the child, of that little unborn child...the most beautiful creation of God's love...the gift of God. And so today, let us thank God that our parents loved us. Thank God. Let us pray today that every mother will want her child. That no mother will use means to destroy it. The no mother will have the feeling of not wanting the unborn child. That no mother will be afraid to feed one more child, to educate one more child, to take care of one more child.
