Pro-Life: Our Life is a Gift of God

PRAVEEN: If God has created us so wonderfully how can we destroy it so carelessly by abortion, suicide, euthanasia, so on & so forth? This was the question that I asked myself when Fr Lukose CMI took the course on 'Preserving life.' So it is everybody’s responsibility to protect, promote and preserve human life.

DOLWIN: Human life is a precious gift of God and we are called to celebrate life in our families & communities. This course was a call to preserve life and nature. God wants to be like Jesus who is the master of promoting life. God wants to be happy always in our life. The destruction of nature and human life is against pro-life. Jesus' life was full of celebration by becoming fully human and fully alive.

GEORGE: In Psalm 139, the Psalmist explains the importance of life. He says “for it is God who formed my inward parts, for He has made so fearfully and wonderfully & God is always with me wherever I go.” These are the touching words, which made me recognize the value of human life. Every human being is created by God. God has also given us the freedom. It is our responsibility to make the best use of it along with the values of human life. We should always walk towards the ultimate goal of human life & give glory to God always.

VEERAJ: “If a building is destroyed, it can be rebuilt; but when human life is lost, it is lost forever.” This was a thought that came up during the 3-day Inter-Novitiate Course on 'Pro-Life.' Human life is the greatest gift that God gives and we belong to God alone. Let us love ourselves and love everyone - ‘live and let live' needs to be our motto in preserving life.

I am happy read the views of many novices who are able to reflect seriously on contemporary problems and issues. They need to reflect critically. Provide them more opportunities to express their views.
