The Holy Father reminds us that
there will be no peace in the world unless there is justice within every
nation and among all the nations of the world. Secondly, there will be
no justice unless the dignity of all life is respected. We are
challenged to protect the dignity of every human life from the first
moment of conception until last natural breath. We are challenged to
respect the dignity of the stranger and the migrant.
From the words and example of the Lord Jesus and His
mother, we can come to a new appreciation of the great gift of freedom
we enjoy in our country - a freedom that brings with it a commitment to
share our gifts and talents and to be faithful in all of our
relationships, a freedom that challenges us as individuals and as a
nation to be concerned about the rights of all people everywhere and the
building-up of the common good.
