Men And Women Will Retain

An Effective Proclamation Of The Gospel In Contemporary Western Society Will Need To Confront Directly The Widespread Spirit Of Agnosticism And Relativism Which Has Cast Doubt On Reason's Ability To Know The Truth, Which Alone Satisfies The Human Heart's Restless Quest For Meaning.

All Human Life-from The Moment Of Conception And Through All Subsequent Stages-is Sacred, Because Human Life Is Created In The Image And Likeness Of God. Nothing Surpasses The Greatness Or Dignity Of A Human Person...if A Person's Right To Life Is Violated At The Moment In Which He Is First Conceived In His Mother's Womb, An Indirect Blow Is Struck Also At The Whole Moral Order.

The Family, As The Fundamental And Essential Educating Community, Is The Privileged Means For Transmitting The Religious And Cultural Values Which Help The Person To Acquire His Or Her Own Identity. Founded On Love And Open To The Gift Of Life, The Family Contains In Itself The Very Future Of Society; Its Most Special Task Is To Contribute Effectively To A Future Of Peace.

Prayer Joined To Sacrifice Constitutes The Most Powerful Force In Human History.

Allow The Light And The Healing Presence Of Christ To Shine Brightly Through Your Lives. In That Way, All Those Who Come In Contact With You Will Discover The Loving Kindness Of God.
