When every human life is loved because it is created by God, then efforts to defend life, whether the life of a newborn, the infirm or the dying, become effective.

Human beings do not achieve fulfilment in absolute autonomy, by fooling themselves that they are God but, on the contrary, by recognising themselves as children, creatures open to and reaching out towards God and towards their fellows, in whose faces they see the image of the common Father.

At times it is difficult to find a reason for what appears only as an obstacle to be overcome or even as pain, physical or emotional, to be endured. Yet faith and understanding help us to see a horizon beyond our own selves in order to imagine life as God does. God’s unconditional love, which gives life to every human individual, points to a meaning and purpose for all human life. His is a saving love (cf. Jn 12:32).

The Church, as a people made one by the unity of the Father, the Son and the Spirit, is called to proclaim the gift of life, to serve life, and to promote a culture of life.

Youth, real youth, is not a question of years and physical vigor.
If young people discover the real and great values, they never grow old, despite the fact that the body follows its own laws. Only the people who are good and generous are truly young.
Youth, the youth of goodness remains forever. Indeed it will be perfect and resplendent in heaven with God.

|
Human life stands under God's special protection, because each human being, however wretched or exalted he or she may be, however sick or suffering, however good-for-nothing or important, whether born or unborn, whether incurably ill or radiant with health -- each one bears God's breath in himself or herself, each one is God's image
