Then will the words that are written be fulfilled: "Death has been swallowed up in victory" 1 Corinthians, 15:54.
Reflection: At the scene of the first murder of Abel by Cain, the soil "opened its mouth" to swallow Abel's blood (Gen.4:10-11). At the scene of the final victory of life, it is death itself that will be "swallowed up in victory."
God is in the business of destroying death, and that is why His people work on behalf of life.
Prayer: Lord, continue to give us consolation amidst a Culture of Death, that this evil will not last forever, but will be swallowed up in victory.
--Fr. Frank Pavone, Pro-Life Reflections for Everyday (2009).
"No single person or group has a monopoly on the defense and promotion of life. These are everyone's task and responsibility."
--Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae (1995).
