"The moral gravity of procured abortion is apparent in all its truth if we recognize that we are dealing with murder and, in particular, when we consider the specific elements involved. The one eliminated is a human being at the very beginning of life. No one more absolutely innocent could be imagined. In no way could this human being ever be considered an aggressor, much less an unjust aggressor! He or she is weak, defenceless, even to the point of lacking that minimal form of defence consisting in the poignant power of a newborn baby's cries and tears. The unborn child is totally entrusted to the protection and care of the woman carrying him or her in the womb."
{Pope John Paul II ~ Evangelium vitae}
"Hail Mary, Woman of sorrows, Mother of the living! Virgin spouse beneath the Cross, the new Eve, Be our guide along the paths of the world. Teach us to experience and to spread the love of Christ, to stand with you before the innumerable crosses on which your Son is still crucified."
{Pope John Paul II ~ Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes 8/16/2004}
As Helpers of God's Precious Infants, we stand with Mary before the innumerable crosses on which Her Son is still crucified at today's calvaries in the slaughter of innocent, defenseless unborn children - today's Holy Innocents.
Monsignor Philip Reilly, founder of the Helpers of God's Precious Infants, deliberately called the unborn child, an infant, because the word 'infant' literally means 'not able to speak'. The word 'infants' is descriptive then of the unborn who cannot speak. The Helpers are called then to speak for the infants whose lives are unjustly threatened but whose voices cannot be heard.
"Being unwanted is the worst disease that a human being can ever experience." ~ "Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion."
{Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta}
We all must come to recognize the human person in everyone who is victimized, rejected, abandoned, and defenseless in the worldwide community. This cannot be accomplished if we do not firstly recognize and protect the most defenseless among us – the unborn. Not until we have done all in our power to end the abomination of abortion worldwide by peaceful measures, can we hope to see a measure of peace in the world.
