A Man for All
Seasons is a great film, a powerful message, and a lasting legacy. My hope and prayer is that when I die, I will
be able to say in all honesty that I have ultimately put God first before
everyone and everything else in my life, that I have chosen to do God’s will,
live by His Truth, His love, His mercy, affection, and forgiveness rather than
seeking and catering to the approval of other people.
How fitting a theme—to
remain close to Christ when it would be far more popular and widely accepted to
bow to the latest fads, trends, and practices supported by a government or
administration as being superior to the commandments of the Lord as handed down
to Moses. What perfect timing—in the
same week as hundreds of thousands gathered in Washington DC, in inclement
weather to stand and pray in protest against some of the most prominent and
widely-accepted lies of our time.
People from
around the world and around the country of all races, colors, and creeds
gathered in our Nation’s capital to stand witness to the Truth that all human
life is sacred and that the weakest, most vulnerable among us deserve
protection, dignity, and certainly life.
Pope Francis sent
a message of solidarity and support to those who took part in this year’s March
for Life. This is a man who supports,
promotes, and lives out a Culture of Life.
Forty-one years
is a very long time to allow a practice which kills the weakest, poorest, and
most defenseless among us. How sad that
this policy has not only remained legal, but that it has also been praised
by government officials elected by the people to protect the right of every
human being to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
There
is another impressive video I’ve watched this week produced much more recently
than the original film A Man for All Seasons. In
it are the historical facts, figures, and legal action documented about Roe v.
Wade and the related official decisions made by our government since then.
