The Dignity of Life
In the Gospel this week, it is easy to see God’s law only as a collection of ‘don’t’s but Jesus is its real purpose over the next few weeks. He takes a selection of the commandments starting with “You shall not kill” and turns them into a positive direction. Asking us to enhance the dignity of every human being. Even name calling is a serious matter as it detracts from the dignity of others.
What does it say for me as a follower of Christ in supporting the Life of the unborn?
Or defending Life at its end? or reaching out to the disadvantaged. There are many ways in which we can promote a culture of Life, speaking up and speaking out when our Christian values are challenged.
