An alarming Valentine's greeting

I suppose you could give this card a sinister sub-text in a pro-life context and use it as a worrying symbol or something of things to come on the euthanasia front... But really, it's just another of my cute piccies and it's pro-life because children are pro-life!

Hat-tip to Bump Babies Beyond where I picked up this photo of a Valentine's card that a little boy has made for his parents. I think I get what he's really trying to say!

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life: Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy. Grant that all who believe in your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time. Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build, together with all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life. AMEN

What we're all about

We are a group of parishioners from St John the Evangelist Catholic Church in the diocese of Arundel & Brighton who, through a mixture of our faith and our personal experiences, are convinced of the immeasurable value of each and every human life at every stage and through every challenge. "Blessed the man whose help comes from you, who has set his heart on reaching you. They pass through the valley of thirst and make a spring there: the morning rain will cover it with blessings." (Psalm 84)
