The Catholic Church proclaims in Gaudium et Spes 22 the good news that, 'Christ, the New Adam, by the revelation of the mystery of the Father's Love, fully reveals man to man himself and makes his supreme calling clear.' This love of God, in sending His own Son to save and sanctify us, confers on every human person a foundational dignity that is inestimable. Baptism into Christ builds on and raises this profound dignity to the supernatural level of salvation. And yet, as Pope St. John Paul II reflected in Evangelium Vitae, when God is forgotten, the creature itself grows unintelligible and respect for human dignity becomes threatened. It is a truth echoed by thinkers such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and particularly borne out by the Holocaust and genocidal persecutions of the 20th Century. 


Tragically, even now, in our own country every day, up to 600 babies are aborted, with an annual figure of almost 200,000 abortions.

Without a sense of God, the recognition of the dignity of the human person has indeed been devalued, leading to increasing family breakdown, street violence, calls for euthanasia, destructive research perpetrated on embryos and calls for ever easier access to abortion. These evils are largely due to the denial of God and His rights over us, a lethargic decadence amongst Christian leaders, the spread of false education based in moral relativism, an oftentimes hostile media, and the hardening of all our hearts due to materialism and excess comfort. 
 
However, as St. Paul announced in Romans 5:20, 'Where sin abounds, grace abounds the more.' Inspired by words found in Deuteronomy 30:15-20, 'Choose life then, that you and your children may live,' Alan gave over 120 talks on this particular issue to inform, motivate and encourage groups of all ages.

We especially invite you to pray for an end to abortion and for a renewal of chastity in individuals and in society. Please intercede each day for all mothers, fathers and families damaged by abortion and for the reconciliation, healing and final peace with God of all involved. We especially encourage the Rosary and the offering of Masses and Holy Communions for this intention.  Peaceful prayer vigils at the actual abortion facilities have been a powerful way of witnessing that brought joy to suffering souls and saved countless numbers of lives and relationships.
