Prologue Class

1 December 2012

The Prologue class was ordained.
Thank you, Lord, for the gift of six new shepherds.
May they be true prophets of dialogue
who speak your Word
even when it is unpopular.
May their ears be open to their sheep.
May their conversation bring all closer to you.

This we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

Living thing or non-living thing?

When I was a kid, our teacher taught us the difference between living and non-living things... do you remember too? 

Just for fun, write whether the following are living or non-living things...

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

Answer key: orchid - living thing; lamp - non-living thing; bamboo shark egg -   living thing; shark - living thing; dinosaur skeleton - non-living thing;  candies - non-living thing; spider - living thing.

So how did you answer number 8? Is sperm alive or dead? Is an egg alive or dead? 

Can dead sperm fertilize a living egg? Or can living sperm fertilize a dead egg? 

If living sperm is needed to fertilize a living egg, would it be logical to say life begins at the moment of conception?

Think about it.  

See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity. - Deut 30:15

A Deadly Pill

After taking contraceptive pills for one month, a 19-year-old show jumper suffers seven heart attacks. This story is perhaps an extreme case but it's good to know all the risks before mandating something as essential medicines for a nation, right?

Fight for life! No to RH Bill!

I would like for all women to be respected and not treated as a sex object made accessible via pills and condoms.

I would like to make a stand for the unborn and say once an egg is fertilized, that's a living cell that will grow into a baby. That cell already has a right to life. It is human from the beginning. It has human rights. 

The value of a human being does not depend on his/her usefulness. Kaya nga human being, hindi human doing. A zygote has as much value as a person in a coma and as much value as a highly accomplished individual. One is not greater than another. There is no such thing as a "potential" human being you can eliminate. Leave a fertilized cell alone and it will become a baby.  

This is not just a stand against legislation. This is a stand for life. I am standing against the culture of death. I invite my fellow women to make this stand with me. Sign the petition!
