Being Pro-life to encompasses many things. It doesn't mean just being anti-abortion but truly being Pre-life to me means just that, making life better, not just preventing untimely death. Making life better, being there for those who are in pain, who need to know someone cares if they are alive or not, is being pro-life because you never know whose life you will save.
I am thinking of this because a lovely man I worked with but had lost touch with, committed suicide last week. He was one of those people who was so loving but had issues fitting in and in I think accepting himself that life was a real struggle for him. I kills me to think that people treated him unkindly. I met another man over the weekend who was so down on himself he seemed unable to see the beautiful work he did. Everyday people around you are struggling with their own personal hell. Little things you do can make that better, a thank you card for the church secretary, taking cookies to an elderly neighbor, sometimes just really looking someone in face and giving them a compliment.
Spreading a joy and not adding to the pain of those around you will make you happier too. That love you spread will be returned to a hundred fold by Our Lord. Ask him today for the gift of seeing others and knowing how to help them in their pain. Loving those who are different will open your heart to love all that much more and compassion will lighten your own pain.
