Pro-Life Reflections for February 9

REFLECTION:

Jesus was about to raise Lazarus, but Martha was worried about the stench.  We too fear the stench.  Politicians fear who will vote against them; businesses fear who will stop supporting them.

"Surely, there will be a stench."  And that becomes the excuse not to act - even when we know that Jesus has authority over death.

PRAYER:

Lord, free us from our fears and calculations, and make us bold as we battle the culture of death.
