Pro-choice

Choice is a good thing.

But whose choice? And what is chosen?

These are critical questions.

In today’s Gospel (John 15:9-17), our Lord says this:

It was not you who chose me,
but I who chose you.

God is the one who chooses us for salvation. May we never reject that choice.

God is the one who chooses our vocations. May we never reject that choice.

God is the one who chooses to give life. May we never reject that choice.

Tragically, there are people who say they are “pro-choice” when they are actually promoting the destruction of innocent human beings (and the rejection of God’s choice to give life).

Tragically, there are people who talk a lot about “choices” but cut them off from any objective moral reality and from the choices of the Creator.

May we reject the false “choices” of this world and embrace the loving choices of God.
