The mother of a priest should recognise her part in the development of his vocation. First, she was grateful for the gift of a child, when so many mothers choose to refuse that gift and arranged for their tiny babies to be destroyed in the womb. And most mothers of priests have provided encouragement in the Catholic Faith, and an example of trust in God.

Christ looks on in horror, because many people today have refused to welcome into their lives the little people - the infants - to whom He had given life. In choosing to destroy those infants in the womb they have wiped out the adults they would have become: mothers, fathers, priests, nuns, pianists, politicians, drivers, and others - all created by God; but each has been denied by their parents an earthly life to treasure and enjoy.

We hear about 'women's health' or 'reproductive rights'; yet by changing the vocabulary, some people hide repulsive acts. Instead of 'abortion' we hear about 'termination', just as in the French Revolution people said they brought 'liberty and fraternity' - even as they executed thousands of innocent priests and religious.

Living human beings are a gift from God. The Holy Spirit gives life; and it is He Who receives insult and offense wherever people treat human embryos as so much rubbish to be thrown away.

Those who destroy infants in their mothers' wombs, or who discard tiny embryos, are not only acting against those living human beings, but offending God. They act against Him, the giver of life, when they discard miniature living persons as so much rubbish, even if they do not realise how great is the wrong they do.

Christ greeted me with His arms open wide in a loving gesture, showing His delight, on my child's birthday, that I have welcomed every child I have conceived, and have been grateful for God's gift of help.

Christ told me how much joy it gave Him to see me full of wonder at the gift of life, each time I was pregnant. Each time I celebrate the birthday of one of the children, I find that Christ shows me anew, in prayer, how He delights in my gratitude.

It is a wonderful thing when a woman welcomes the gift of a child - and when her other children see her joy, which makes them more sure of being loved.

On the birthday of my younger son I saw Christ at the altar, His arms stretched out in prayer as He praised the Father for all the spouses who love one another and who welcome and love their children, and are grateful for the gift of life.

Christ, Who gives the gift of life, is horrified that tiny human beings, who should be treasured, are poisoned or dismembered in their mothers' wombs through abortion, and thrown or flushed away like so much garbage.

How many Bishops preach against abortion, the Lord asked, and against contraception, unchastity, desertion of spouses and neglect of children? Who do we hear much more about other less important topics?

Christ looks on with horror when unborn babies are taken from the womb through abortion, and 'swept away', unwanted. He Who gives life watches life being rejected.

A Christian marriage, lived as it should be lived, is like a lamp set on a hill, for society; a sacramental union full of grace. It provides a loving home for children who are not rejected by contraceptive use or abortion; it is a place of care for elderly relations, provides warmth for the lonely, and is an example to all of love and compassion.
