Word of Life Bulletin Briefs May 2013
Jesus didn’t come to bring death, but rather, the death of hatred, the death of fighting, the death of
calumny, that is, killing with the tongue. Jesus did not come to bring death, the death that He
suffered for defending life. Jesus came to bring life and to bring abundant life, and he sends us out,
carrying that life, but he tells us: “Care for it!” Because there are people who … aren’t involved in
the Gospel: [who are part of] the culture of death. … life interests them insofar as it is useful,
insofar as it has some kind of utility and if not, it doesn’t interest them. And throughout the world,
this weed has been planted, of the culture of death.
~ Most Rev. Jorge Bergoglio, former Cardinal Archbishop of Buenos Aires, now Pope Francis, homily at Mass on
August 31, 2005
Made in the image of the Triune God, the human person is, by nature, a social being, made for
loving relationship in a communion of persons. Tragically, we live in a society where some seek to
condition people–girls and women especially–to denigrate motherhood and [the] spousal
relationship, going so far as to insist with the HHS mandate that that which is unique to woman–the
ability to conceive and bear a child–should be viewed as something like an unwelcome
disease which needs to be suppressed. Far from being an advancement in freedom for women, such
attitudes diminish women and detract from their fundamental, inherent dignity.
~ Most Rev. Donald Wuerl, Cardinal Archbishop of Washington-DC, “The Unique Genius of Woman in the Church
and Society,” Seek First the Kingdom: A Blog by Cardinal Donald Wuerl, March 4, 2013
Blessed John Paul II in his encyclical letter “The Gospel of Life” reminds us that ‘when the sense of
God is lost, there is also a tendency to lose the sense of man, of his dignity and his life” (no.21). If
we wish to change the “culture of death” in our society we must restore God to the center of our
lives. The power of the Gospel is to transform humanity from within and to make it new. Like the
yeast which leavens the bread, the Gospel is meant to permeate all cultures and give them life from
within so that they may express the full truth about the human person and about human life.
~ Most Rev. Kevin Farrell, Bishop of Dallas, homily at the Closing Mass for the 2013 National Prayer Vigil for Life,
January 25, 2013
Each of us is a “creature,” whose origin is the loving gaze of God, who looks upon us “within His
very self” and draws us forth from this Love. This is the love that is the very being of God; the love
of the Father for the Son, the love of the Son for the Father, the Holy Spirit that is love. This is what
being created in the image and likeness of God means: to be drawn forth from love; created for
love. Thus, every human life conceived in the womb is conceived with a spark of divinity! No
wonder we cherish all life as sacred and worthy of the dignity of the children of God. No wonder
we believe that all life conceived in the womb is worth all our effort to protect so that the child may
come forth from the Light of God into the light of the world.

Palabra de Vida Citas para el boletín Mayo de 2013
Jesús no vino a traer muerte, más aún, la muerte del odio, la muerte de las peleas, la muerte de la
calumnia, ese matar con la lengua. Jesús no vino a traer muerte, la muerte la sufrió Él por defender
la vida, Jesús vino a traer vida y esa vida abundante, y nos envía llevando esa vida pero nos dice:
“¡Cuidado!”, que hay gente que […] no está en el Evangelio, [son parte de] la cultura de la muerte.
[…] la vida le interesa tanto cuanto sirva, tanto cuanto le puede dar una utilidad y si no, no interesa.
Y en todo el mundo, prendido está este yuyo de la cultura de la muerte.
~ Reverendísimo Jorge Bergoglio, excardenal arzobispo de Buenos Aires, ahora Papa Francisco, homilía en la misa del
31 de agosto de 2005
Creada a imagen del Dios Trino, la persona, por naturaleza, es un ser social creado para entablar
una relación amorosa en una comunión de personas. Trágicamente, vivimos en una sociedad en la
que algunos buscan condicionar a las personas, especialmente a las niñas y mujeres, para denigrar la
maternidad y [la] relación conyugal, yendo tan lejos hasta insistir en que el mandato del HHS de
que lo que es único de la mujer, es decir la capacidad de concebir y dar a luz a un hijo, debería
considerarse como una molesta enfermedad que tiene que suprimirse. Lejos de ser un avance para la
libertad de la mujer, tales actitudes disminuyen a la mujer y le quitan su dignidad fundamental e
inherente.
~ Reverendísimo Donald Wuerl, cardenal arzobispo de Washington-DC, “La genialidad única de la mujer en la Iglesia
y la sociedad”, Busquen primero el Reino: Bitácora del Cardinal Donald Wuerl, 4 de marzo de 2013
El Beato Juan Pablo II en su encíclica Evangelium Vitae nos recuerda que “perdiendo el sentido de
Dios, se tiende a perder también el sentido del hombre, de su dignidad y de su vida’ (21). [...] si se
desea cambiar la “cultura de la muerte” en nuestra sociedad, debemos restaurar a Dios en el centro
de nuestras vidas. La fuerza del Evangelio es transformar la humanidad desde dentro y hacerla
nueva. Al igual que la levadura que hace fermentar el pan, el Evangelio está destinado a impregnar
todas las culturas y a animarlas desde dentro, para que expresen la verdad plena sobre el hombre y
sobre la vida humana.
~ Reverendísimo Kevin Farrell, obispo de Dallas, homilía de la Misa de clausura de la Vigilia Nacional de Oración por
la Vida de 2013, 25 de enero de 2013
Cada uno de nosotros es una “creatura”, cuyo origen se encuentra en la mirada amorosa de Dios,
que nos mira “dentro de Sí mismo” y nos da vida desde su Amor. Este es el amor que es el mismo
ser de Dios; el amor del Padre por el Hijo, el amor del Hijo por el Padre, el Espíritu Santo que es
amor. Esto es lo que significa ser creados a imagen y semejanza de Dios: nacimos del amor,
creados para amar. ¡Por consiguiente, cada vida humana concebida en el seno se concibe con una
chispa de divinidad! Con razón valoramos toda vida como sagrada y merecedora de la dignidad de
los hijos de Dios. Con razón creemos que toda vida concebida en el seno merece todos nuestros
esfuerzos de protección para que el niño pueda brotar de la Luz de Dios a la luz del mundo.
~ Reverendísimo. Paul D. Etienne, obispo de Cheyenne, “La vida: Orígenes en la Trinidad”, La verdad en el amor:
