願大家更深刻的理解,維護生命的訊息植根於生命的兩個基本真理:1. 有一位天主;2. 我不是天主(我不能代替祂對生命作主)。
May all understand more deeply that the pro-life message is rooted in the two basic truths of life: 1) There is a God; 2) He isn’t me.

她心靈愁苦,哀求上主,不斷痛哭流淚;且許願說:「…記念我,不忘你的婢女,賜你婢女生一個男孩…」(撒上1:10-11)
省思
在舊約時代,不孕被視為是一種詛咒,是極羞恥以及痛苦的來源;相反地,成孕則是天主的祝福及寵幸的象徵。
其實很多不孕的人,跟天主有著很親密及信實的關係;相反,墮胎文化的觀念,只會使當事人陷入極度痛苦當中。
祈禱
主,求祢使我們重新看到,兒童是祢給我們的祝福;對時常希望有小孩子的人,求祢賜予祢的祝福。
HANNAH wept much and prayed to the Lord … “Remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son …” — 1 Sam 1:10-11
REFLECTION
The people of the Old Testament regarded barrenness as a curse, a source of great shame and sorrow. Fertility, on the other hand, was a blessing and a sign of God’s favor.
Many people who suffer from infertility are very close and faithful to God. The attitude of a culture that aborts children, however, increases their anguish all the more.
PRAYER
Lord, may we again see children as a blessing. Give that blessing to all who long for a child.
