Whales and human life
Yesterday (Sunday) was “Respect Life Sunday”. In the homily here at the seminary, an interesting point was brought up. Over the summer there were two whales that ventured into the San Francisco Bay and then 90 miles inland to the Port of Sacramento. As news got out, many people began to cry for the lives of the whales that were apparently lost and out of their normal environment. So a massive rescue attempt was formed to help the whales find their way back into the ocean. But apparently they found their way back one night while we were all asleep.
A question to ponder (in more general terms)—those who were crying for the lives of the whales, do they ever cry out for the lives of human beings being killed immorally?
Is there a massive rescue attempt being made to save the lives of those being aborted, euthanized, or exterminated (whether it be through ethnic cleansing or capital punishment)?
To be Christian is to be Pro-Life. And to be Pro-Life is to offer mercy for all human beings, whether inside or outside of the womb. Remember, both Moses and St. Paul committed murder in their younger days. But look at the great leaders they became after they were shown mercy. Jesus said, love you enemies and pray for your persecutors.
Did you know—a baby forming in the womb has a heartbeat at 21 days (3 weeks) after conception. Thus, it is a living being dependent upon us. So it is not just tissue that is being aborted, but instead a living human being with a beating heart.
What if John Paul II’s parents had aborted him?
What if Mother Teresa’s parents had aborted her?
What if your parents had chosen to abort you?
