Does Human Life have any Value?

Present Political Evaluation of Human life

When we look at political policies we see that quality of life is valued over life itself. Once I heard someone tell me once that (paraphrasing) “Once medicine worked to save people from death, now it works to save people from suffering.” If the quality of life is considered/reckoned not worth living or inconvenient it is preferable that it be ended. After all, who wants to be a burden on others or society?

The current “world think” (globalists perspective) is that the world is overpopulated and that there is an urgent need to reduce the population and control reproduction. In discussions regarding saving the planet humans are often looked at as a parasite or cancer consuming the world and its resources. In fact, I have heard people say that having children is not eco-friendly.

The plan of saving the planet comes at the price of human life. With this mentality Human life is not considered as precious or valuable but rather as harmful and as described previously a “high cost luxury”, an “indulgence” that should be limited. politicians justify the policies to control the population as this is a sacrifice for the good of the world, to save the planet from Carbon dioxide emitting humans. “Human rights” is another way they justify the killing of humans. You have probably heard the saying “my body, my choice.” An interesting point is that, no matter how much they desire to reduce the population, never do they promote the idea of abstinence. On the contrary they promote promiscuity at every possible opportunity.

Just to give you another perspective other than that of the globalist regarding overpopulation.

Abortion Laws

What is the law about abortion?

Canadian law ensures that everyone has access to safe and consistent reproductive health services, including abortion. There are no legal restrictions based on age or consent from a partner or parents for those seeking an abortion.

The Canadian government has been actively working to strengthen access to abortion services, addressing barriers such as the unavailability of services nearby, costs of travel, and the need for culturally-responsive and stigma-free care.

Number of Abortions

In Canada, the number of abortions reported in 2022 was over 97.2 thousand, it has remained around that number for at least a couple of decades.

To help comprehend that number, imagine the whole population of Lindsay and Peterborough being ghosted in a year. The population of Lindsay is less than 21 thousand. And the population of Peterborough is a little over 81 thousand.

Abortion has been legal in Canada since 1969. Since it became legal, approximately six million Canadians have died by abortion, about 300 each day.

To give you a perspective: The small country of Scotland had a population 5.40 million, or another comparison could be the Greater Toronto Area which has approximately 6.7 million.

Number of Euthanasia

Since the legalisation of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada in 2016, the total number of reported MAID deaths up to December 31, 2021, is 31,664. Which again is more than the population of Lindsay. About 6 thousand per year and 17 per day.

Now that we have seen what the worldly think about human life let us look at what God thinks.

God’s Evaluation of Human life.

Genesis 2:7; Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

While all other things in creation were created by the mere volition of God, God said and so it was, man was created in a distinct manner, we read the God personally formed him from the dust of the earth and breaths His own spirit into him, giving to man his own personal touch and life. This truth is reinforced by another verse.

Genesis 1:26-27; Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

God gives to man a value which surpasses the rest of creation. God made us in His image and likeness. Now God did not just finish creating in Genesis and leave the world to run by itself. God continues to create.

Jeremiah 1:5; “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Psalm 139:13-16; For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. […] My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

According to Aquinas, the rational soul, which is the ‘form’ (philosophical word) of the body, is made only by creation and cannot be produced by any other means. He believed that the soul is created directly from nothing by God alone. And God has an essential role in the running of all creation. Without Him creation cannot hold itself in being. Jn 5:17 “But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

God isn’t a distant God. He knows and loves us intimately:

Luke 12:6-7; Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Hebrews 4:13; And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Matthew 28:20; And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Matthew 6:26; Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns--and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

All things are created for Him but we most especially, every single human, are created for Him and God takes particular interest in us humans. We are not here by accident.

Ephesians 1:1-23; Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, …

Romans 11:36; For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.

Colossians 1:16; For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

1 Corinthians 8:6; […] there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.

Now we approach the Main point

What does it feel like to lose a child?

The pain of losing a child to death is often described as one of the most intense and profound forms of grief a person can experience. It’s a deeply personal and devastating loss that can feel overwhelming and all-consuming. The bond between a parent and a child is incredibly strong, and when that bond is broken by death, it can leave a parent feeling fractured, lost, empty, purposeless, numb, unable to enjoy anything any more.

Specialists say the loss of a child may be the worst trauma a human being can experience. One surprising impact, often seen among parents mourning the loss of a child, is known as the broken-heart syndrome — a condition that presents physically and medically like a heart attack. Symptoms include “crushing chest, pain, ST-segment elevation on electrocardiography, and elevated cardiac enzyme markers on lab results,”

Research suggests that psychological damage done by a child’s death often does not heal over time. A 2008 study found that even 18 years after losing a child, bereaved parents reported “more depressive symptoms, poorer well-being, and more health problems and were more likely to have experienced a depressive episode and marital disruption.” While some parents did improve, “recovery from grief…was unrelated to the amount of time since the death.”

Pain is proportional to love one has for the beloved. God is Father from which all fathers have their fatherhood. If a father suffers terribly at the loss of his child, how much more must God suffer as He sees His beloved children murdered.

Genesis 9:5-7; I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man: Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind. But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.” This leads on to the next section.

The Devils attack on the family

Cardinal Carlo Caffarra revealed these prophetic words in an interview with Aleteia in 2017, explaining how he had received a handwritten note from Sr. Lucia.

The letter ended, saying (in 1983 or 1984): “Father, a time will come when the decisive battle between the kingdom of Christ and Satan will be over marriage and the family. And those who will work for the good of the family will experience persecution and tribulation. But do not be afraid, because Our Lady has already crushed his head.”

Destroying the family leaves souls vulnerable to being led into sinful lives of vice and selfishness. Maybe in some future date we will have someone to give a talk about the effects of the Broken family on both parents and children.

Warning of Our Lady of Fatima about the Errors of Russia

You might also remember that Our Lady warned about Russia spreading its errors. We can get a glimpse of these errors in the “Communism’s 45 goals” that were read into the US Congressional Record by Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr., (D-Florida), in 1963. These goals were gleaned from the testimony given to Congress by scholars and from the writings of current or former Communists. Just to give you an idea I present just some of the 45 goals for America.
