Pro-Life Reflections for March 1


REFLECTION:

The word "compassion" comes from the Latin words meaning "to suffer with." Love brings us closer to people, and when they are in  pain, love wants to come closer still.  Love gladly suffers for and with the one who is loved.  The so-called "right to die" is really a cleaver disguise for the "right to kill."

PRAYER:

Lord, free us from the selfishness that wants to run away from the suffering of others.  Instead, fill us with true compassion so that we may suffer with them.
