Day for Life 2014: Protect and Cherish Life #livelife
Today is a day dedicated to raising awareness about the meaning and value of human life at every stage and in every condition. In a ‘throwaway’ culture, it is easy for life to be undervalued. Every one of us, young and old alike can play our part in the promotion of life. Our every thought, word or action can promote or extinguish life – we all have a valuable contribution to make. Pope Francis tells us that being a protector of life is about, “protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world… It means respecting each of God’s creatures and respecting the environment in which we live.” The pope speaks of “protecting people, showing loving concern for each and every person, especially children, the elderly, those in need, who are often the last we think about.” He emphasises the importance of the family, “husbands and wives first protect one another, and then, as parents, they care for their children, and children themselves, in time, protect their parents.” And of caring for society by “building sincere friendships in which we protect one another in trust, respect, and goodness. In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it.” Let’s all be builders of a better world and protect life.
