In my morning post, I called for a return of the "seamless garment" approach to life issues. After posting my article, I went over to the website of Vatican Insider and found that the Holy Father had sent a letter to the Church in Great Britain and Ireland to make their "Day of Life" celebration. The Pope's message included this:
Calling to mind the teaching of Saint Irenaeus that the glory of God is seen in a living human being, the Holy Father encourages all of you to let the light of that glory shine so brightly that everyone may come to recognise the inestimable value of all human life. Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God’s creation, made in his own image, destined to live for ever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect. His Holiness prays that the Day for Life will help to ensure that human life always receives the protection that is its due, so that “everything that breathes may praise the Lord.
Looks like the seamless garment is back.
