The Message of His Eminence Archbishop Nicolae on Sanctity of Life Sunday, January 24th, 2010
Most Reverend Fathers,
Dear faithful,
On this Sunday of January 24th, we decided to pray together with other Orthodox Christians in America, for respect and defend of life. This prayer is meant to be a call of God's help to light those who do not understand that life comes from Him and must be respected and defended from the moment of the child's conception in the mother's womb. It is an awakening call to conscience that abortion is sin because it is killing life.
As Orthodox Christians it is properly to affirm the value and sanctity of life from the moment of conception of the baby to the transition from this earthly life. God Creator is the Giver of life. Every man is created in God's image and tends to the likeness of God. Every human being bears, from the moment of conception, the sign of the divine affiliation, the relationship with God. Mothers bear in the womb, from the first moment of the meeting between the human love and love of God, a human creature who must see the light of day and receive the Christian baptism. For mothers in their work together with God, do not give birth to babies only for this life, but also for the Kingdom of God. …read more
