Our Lady of Guadalupe
theophilus December 12th, 2008
What’s so hard to understand about the following passage from Luke 1 -
“And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.’“
The BABE leaped in her womb. Blessed is the FRUIT OF YOUR WOMB. The MOTHER of my Lord. The BABE in my womb.
If you read the Bible, if you believe in the Bible, if you believe in Christ, there is no room for discussion. The unborn child is a child; the “fetus”, by-product of a woman’s ’reproductive right”, the “blob of tissue” is a human being worthy of the basic human and natural right of life.
I don’t understand these Catholics and Christians who can be pro-abortion or pro-choice or pro-reproductive rights or whatever it is they are calling themselves these days. The babe in the womb is a child. The Bible and our faith says so; science has proved it; modern photo-imaging is overwhelmingly conclusive. The babe in the womb is a child worthy of our protection.
Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the Americas and the protector of the unborn. Through this apparition, Mary gave us a gift so profound that it escapes the vast majority of us in the United States. And how do we repay her? We for the most part ignore this gift and continue to acquiesce to the killing of her children.
We should know better. We are America. We defend the defenseless. We stand up for the powerless. We fight tyranny. We do not give in to evil. We believe that everyone is endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights – the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But somewhere along the line, we allowed the pursuit of happiness to trump and undermine every other right and responsibility.
Those who are vocal advocates for the unborn must continue the fight. Those who are silent supporters of the unborn must make their voices heard. Those who allow abortion, advocate for abortion, perform abortions, or have had abortions must be prayed for. And those children who have been aborted or may be aborted must be tended with special care in our hearts and souls.
We are the Church. The unborn are God’s children; they are Mary’s children; they are Jesus’ flock. We must do everything we can to ensure that these children are allowed to live and do not succumb to our culture of death.
Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us!
