“Calling to mind the teaching of Saint Irenaeus that the
glory of God is seen in a living human being, the Holy Father encourages all of
you to let the light of that glory shine so brightly that everyone may come to
recognise the inestimable value of all human life. Even the weakest and
most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces
of God’s creation, made in his own image, destined to live for ever, and
deserving of the utmost reverence and respect. His Holiness prays that
the Day for Life will help to ensure that human life always receives the
protection that is its due, so that “everything that breathes may praise the
Lord” (Psalm 150:6).”
