When we allow the Spirit to fill our hearts with Jesus’ self-giving love, then we begin to love as he loved and to live as he lived – not perfectly – but enough that we can find the wherewithal to believe, to hope, and to endure, even when the road is winding, the fog hangs low, and the trumpet is uncertain.

Embracing the Scriptures as truly the Word of God, as truly words of spirit and life, let us now proceed to lift up our hearts as the Lord gives himself for us anew, in the reenactment of his death and resurrection and in our reception of his Body and Blood in the Holy Eucharist.

Let us reject the tools of the culture of death. Let us not “fight fire with fire.” Instead, let us immerse ourselves in the Gospel of Life, allowing the Incarnate Lord Jesus to shed his incomparable light on us and on the dignity of every human life, on both mother and child, on the frail elderly, and on all those who are vulnerable and struggling.
