Pro-life Quote of the Day: Pope John Paul II
“A certain sharing by man in God's lordship is also evident in the specific responsibility which he is given for human life as such. It is a responsibility which reaches its highest point in the giving of life through procreation by man and woman in marriage. As the Second Vatican Council teaches: "God himself who said, ‘It is not good for man to be alone' (Gen 2:18) and ‘who made man from the beginning male and female' (Mt 19:4), wished to share with man a certain special participation in his own creative work. Thus he blessed male and female saying: ‘Increase and multiply' (Gen 1:28)”
~Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of Life, n. 43
