LIFE IS PRECIOUS
You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb. – Psalm 139:13
The verse above is taken from one of my favorite psalms. It tells of
how God made each one of us, how much He loves us, and how He will never
leave us, even if we try our hardest to run from His love.
It’s also one of the verses that many pro-lifers like to quote when
talking about how each baby is precious — a gift from the Lord. The
verse after it says, “I praise you, because I am wonderfully made;
wonderful are your works! My very self you know.”
Sadly, many people in our world today say otherwise. They claim that
babies are mere “blobs of blood,” bearing no human characteristics at
all, and so there’s nothing wrong with “getting rid” of them. According
to the Bound 4 Life website, 46 million babies die from abortion
worldwide every year. That’s approximately one baby being aborted every
two seconds. Horrifying, right?
I urge you today to say a prayer for the babies in their mothers’ wombs
— “wanted” or “unwanted” — that people will see that each body is
“knit” by Him in the womb.

Reflection: Do you uphold the sanctity of human life and, if need be, defend it to the best of your ability?
Jesus,
help me to be a voice for the voiceless — including all unborn babies.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Unborn, pray for us!
St. Mother Theodora Guérin, pray for us.
