O God, we thank you for the fact that you have inspired men and women in all nations and in all cultures. We call you different names: some call you Allah; some call you Elohim; some call you Jehovah; some call you Brahma; some call you the Unmoved Mover. But we know that these are all names for one and the same God. Grant that we will follow you and become so committed to your way and your kingdom that we will be able to establish in our lives and in this world a brother and sisterhood, that we will be able to establish here a kingdom of understanding, where men and women will live together as brothers and sisters and respect the dignity and worth of every human being. In the name and spirit of Jesus. Amen.

On the Dignity of the Human Person
One of your friends says that when she was at Mass on Sunday, the Priest quoted the Catechism of the Catholic Church: “Human life is sacred” and that “human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception” (CCC 2258, 2270). However, your friend is confused about why human life is “sacred” and “must be respected and protected absolutely” and wants you to help her understand this teaching. Explain why human life is sacred from the moment of conception and how abortion violates the sacred dignity of the unborn child and their mother.
