A girl came in two days ago and when I asked her about
adoption she said that to her, adoption was the same thing as “terminating the
pregnancy”. You are saying goodbye to your child either way and she didn’t care
if the child felt pain. The only item of importance was her feeling. No
one else mattered. Another girl last week said her main priority was putting
herself first. I just wanted to ask, “Who taught you that? Who told you that that was a worthy ambition?”
I
have been taught all my life that service to others is crucial. What makes us
human if we don’t empathize and help one another? How can we be fulfilled
without loving one another through our actions? “It is in giving that we receive.”
I know this to be true. Now all I have to do is convince these mothers.

St. Francis was right, people find the most fulfillment in giving to others, and it is more important to think of others than ourselves. And you're right, thinking of others is part of what makes us most human. However, we live in a world where the most important value is thinking of our own happiness, thinking of what we want, doing what we want to do no matter how much carnage we leave behind. The sad prevalence of this idea contributes to the widespread use of abortion. Remain strong and continue to give! May God bless you all and your work.
