Archbishop Dolan has posted his speech from the 4th Annual Respect Life Week in Yonkers, NY on his blog and I have to say that I love listening to, or reading as it were, his speeches because you can just feel his passion and conviction for the topic. When I read the following it made me think of the upcoming March for Life which CCM will be attending:
"...we unite as Americans this afternoon eager to restore this premier civil right [the right to life]; we come together as friends and neighbors sincere in our love and respect for struggling moms and their unborn babies, so eager to assist them; we gather as no one’s enemy, with no threats, simply believing the truth will set us free, that this great nation will recover its birthright as a guardian, not a taker, of innocent life;
we assemble in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, that towering woman promising a welcome, a new life, to those threatened, conscious that those who are most threatened today are babies in the womb;
and we unite recalling the words of Mother Teresa, at the White House, before a president and guests who blushed at her remark that, 'the greatest poverty of all is for a nation to take the life of an innocent unborn baby so we could live as we want.'"
