"As people of faith who believe God’s
truth about life, we must support and seek justice for all of God’s children.
We must do all we can to be God’s witnesses of merciful love in the world. We
know and give thanks for the great dignity God has given to us from the moment
of conception, to be made in his image. We also must pray for the grace to
remind others of this inherent dignity, in our words and in our actions."
--Archbishop Joseph Naumann, USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, January 18, 2019
"Christmas fills us with joy and makes us certain
that no sin will ever be greater than God’s mercy; no act of ours can ever
prevent the dawn of his divine light from rising ever anew in human hearts.
This feast invites us to renew our evangelical commitment to proclaim
Christ, the Saviour of the world and the light of the universe. “Christ,
‘holy, blameless, undefiled’ (Heb 7:26) did not know sin (cf. 2
Cor 5:21) and came only to atone for the sins of the people (cf. Heb 2:17)."
--Pope Francis, Address to Roman Curia, December 21, 2018
