Nicaraguan Bishops Urge
Faithful To Defend Life
MANAGUA - The bishops of Nicaragua released
a message last week reminding Nicaraguans of
God's love for all human beings and
encouraging them to continue defending life.
“God wished to be born and live among us.
The incarnation of the Son of God is the
quintessential act of love,” the message
began. “Each human being who is born is a
continuation of this mystery of love and
life that we contemplate in the incarnation
of the Son of God,” the bishops said.
They expressed gratitude to Mary, “the
Virgin of love,” for her total fidelity to
God. Of her was born “the Son of God who is
love incarnate; she welcomed life with faith
and love, and consecrated herself totally in
service to the Lord.”
The message, addressed to all Nicaraguan
Catholics, was released on March 25, the Day
of the Unborn, and the Solemnity of the
Annunciation. The bishops also urged
Catholics to participate in Holy Week
celebrations in order to deepen their faith
and prepare to celebrate Easter with joy. |
