"One human being is more precious to God than the entire cosmos."​

St. Symeon the Theologian

 

   O Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of the Father,

True God, source of Life and immortality, light of light

Who has come into the world to enlighten it; You were

pleased to be conceived in the womb of the Theotokos by the

Holy Spirit for the salvation of our souls; O Master, Who

came that we might have life more abundantly . . . Enable us

to cherish and protect the lives of all who are unable

to care for themselves, for You Yourself are the Bestower of

Life Who brings every person from nothingness into being

and seals each person with divine and infinite love . . .

Bring us all to the light of Your truth that we may all

glorify You the Giver of Life together with our Father

and Your all-holy and life-giving Spirit. Amen

​

   ". . . human life in all its forms is sacred, and every means

   must be used for its preservation, protection and defense: 

   political, economic,legal, moral, and religious . . . " 

 

   Excerpt from Resolutions adopted by the Sixth All-American
