In today’s second reading St. Paul tells us that no matter
what the world throws at us, nothing can separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. It was
commitment to the Culture of Life that led Blessed
Mother Theresa to care for the poorest of the poor. It is
commitment to the Culture of Life that transforms
humanism into charity, for even greater than reaching
out to others out of respect for their humanity is reaching
out to them out of respect for their own reflection of the
image of God, their share in his divinity. We are called to
the Culture of Life. We are people of life, people of hope,
People of God. It is our commitment to the culture of life
that allows us to view the events of our physical lives as
only part of the story of our lives. We live for God.
The culture of death only sees the here and now. It does
not consider the impact of a person’s actions on his or her
life or on the world in general. The culture of death says,
“Have an abortion.” How many babies are killed? How
many great minds were never allowed to develop? How
much beauty has the world lost? How much love? And
how many girls have their lives destroyed? How many
college freshmen and sophomores have been convinced by
their parents and others not to change their college plans
but to find a supposedly easy solution to their pregnancy?
The culture of death presumes that the young will not be
able to control themselves. It is the culture of death that
says that retirees should live together rather than marry
because finances are more important than eternal life.
Think about it. It is the culture of death that is the philo-
sophical basis of the sex industry. Basically speaking, the
culture of death assumes that we are animals, unable to
control ourselves. But we are not animals. We are sons
and daughters of God. We have dignity. We also have a
right to demand that others treat us with the Dignity we
have been given at our baptism.
