“Every human person—no matter how vulnerable or helpless, no matter how young or how old, no matter how healthy, handicapped or sick, no matter how useful or productive for society—is a being of inestimable worth created in the image and likeness of God. This is the dignity of America, the reason she exists, THE CONDITION OF HER SURVIVAL—yes, the ultimate test of her greatness: to respect every human person, especially the weakest and most defenceless ones, those as yet unborn.” – Pope Saint John Paul II
Was Pope John Paul II Speaking as Prophet? Is the condition of America’s survival how she responds to “The Least of These?” Are we aborting away our own existence? What does the future hold for our children’s children’s children as America disintegrates into decadence, ruin and destruction? Is Ancient Rome a picture of what that will look like as history repeats itself? Is that our model? Are we demonstrating to our children and their children how to love and stand up and speak out against injustice. How to defend and care for those who cannot defend themselves? How to give until it hurts?
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” – CS Lewis
