experiences of people in poverty and about the foundational postures we
must assume in order to alleviate poverty in a way that honors God,
ourselves, and those we seek to serve. To join this group, which will meet

Respect Life Corner
“Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.” In the Gospel of John
Chapter 17, Jesus is in anticipation to be united with God, but urges God
to take care of his followers. When we are battered by life’s storms or
immersed in a defense fog of suffering and uncertainty, we may feel
alone and unequipped to handle the circumstances. The Lord reminds us:
Do not fear, I am with you. He speaks those words as someone who has experienced immense suffering. His wounds bear witness to His suffering
that indicate our identity and worth: we are loved by God. He is always
with us. Jesus promised this when He gave the disciples the same
mission He gives us: Go. Learn, Act, Connect and Pray-“Go be my hands
to a world living in fear. Go to the woman who is unexpectedly pregnant
and fears her future. Go to your friend who fears being shunned at work, because he takes a stand to protect human life. Go to your aging parent
in failing health who worries he is a burden. Go to the student who is
beaten at home and doesn’t know where to turn. Go to the man addicted
to pornography, living a lie in his shame. Walk with each other. Do not be
afraid to embrace God’s gift of life. Whatever storms or trials we face,
we are not alone. He is with us.” Behold, I am with you always,
until the end of the age.”
