"Charity in truth, to which Jesus Christ bore witness by his earthly life and especially by his death and resurrection, is the principal driving force behind the authentic development of every person and of all humanity." (Pope Benedict XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate 29th June 2009)
Here is a slide show of some of my photos from yesterday's March for Life. Huge crowds including masses of youth. That's what happens when you are pro-life - you get lots of young people!
It is easy to feel despair at times when so many do NOT respect life, and when the press and the anti-abortion "movement" would have us believe that pro-lifers comprise only an isignificant minority. These photos are inspiring. It is very moving to see such numbers of people, obviously from all walks of life, and from all over the world (evidenced by your presence there, Fr. John, and the many signs in languages other than English.) To me,these pictures vividly demonstrate that there are millions of people who believe that life begins at conception, reject moral relativism, and hold that wrong is wrong. PERIOD.
