Each of our lives, and every life, is worth living, no matter the circumstances.As Christians, we know that suffering is not the end of the story; it can be the path by which the Lord perfects us in love and leads us to Heaven.We are called to respect and protect our lives and the lives of others, and we are called to be the hands and feet of Christ to all, especially the most vulnerable. We have been given one life to live, which has inestimable value—how will we choose to live it?
Pope Francis addressed Congress on Sept. 24th, 2015 about the importance of the Golden Rule and said it has significant pro-life implications.
“The Golden Rule also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development,” he said. “I am convinced that this way is the best, since every life is sacred, every human person is endowed with an inalienable dignity.” The Pope encouraged Congress “to protect, by means of the law, the image and likeness fashioned by God on every human face.”
