God is so 'other' that we cannot understand all about Him. In His patience He 'waits' century by century as stalactites form. In His delight in creation He makes little creatures like a caterpillar.

God our loving creator allows human beings to 'create' new life with Him. Yet millions of these huamn lives, precious gifts from Heaven, are swept away before birth by the monstrous tsunami of abortion.

Some parents arrange to have their children killed before birth, which is against the Will of God Who creates us all and Who alone gives life.
The great 'height' to which a saintly soul reaches still falls far shot of the infinite 'heights' of the holiness of God, from whom we receive life, and faith and hope.
Long ago, before the world was made, it was already in the Mind of God - and part of the 'Joy' of God - that He would one day be sacramentally, substantially Present on earth, with those who love Him, in the Mass, and in the tabernacle.
It is Christ Who - with the Father and the Holy Spirit - holds me in existence, as He holds the entire world in existence; and therefore I am close to Him through the very fact of my existence as well as being united with Him by Baptism and the gift of His Spirit.
From the fatherly love of God - like a pinpoint far in the distance, before time - has come everything good: Creation, life, God's plan of salvation, the Son Who died for us, the Spirit Who guides us, the Church which sanctifies us.
What must it be like for Christ, Who gives the gift of life, and often sees it rejected by those who destroy a life in the womb, when it has only just begun, or who bear children but see them as burdens, and fail to teach, guide or show love?

Christ told me that it was true He had not the pleasure of hot baths, such as ours today; yet He had lakes and rivers for refreshment - and, for much of the time, warm weather. In every time of Earth's history, there have been good things to enjoy.
Anyone who dismisses an elderly person as being not worth caring for is treating a precious, unique individual, made by God, as a 'thing' or a non-person.
Whether or not the Government forbids the creation of animal-human embryos, it is unlikely that every scientist in the world will resist the temptation to create them. Unbridled curiosity might lead some to undertake experiments.
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 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.
Far 'above' us, in the heights of Heaven, lives the Father, Whom we praise in the Mass, through Christ His Son. The Father is the Source of Life. It is the Father's plan that children be conceived in their mother's wombs, and benefit from a father's care. Marriage should not be destroyed by any modern trend or new practice.
God created all that lives and breathes - even sharks and tarantulas, and other creatures that kill. Yet everything shows out some facet of His nature - such as the beauty and single-mindedness of a shark - or the extent of His creative power, in the amazing creatures, colours and varieties of means of motion.
