Italian pro-life workers receive praise from Pontiff
November 06, 2015
Meeting on November 6 with members of the Italian Movement for Life, Pope Francis said: “I encourage you to continue your important work in favor of life from conception until its natural end.”
The Pope stressed that Christians should respond to all people who are suffering and in need. He asked: “How can we genuinely teach the importance of concern for other vulnerable beings, however troublesome or inconvenient they may be, if we fail to protect a human embryo?”
Pope Francis offered special praise and thanks to those who work in pregnancy-help centers. He noted that these centers “have always welcomed everyone, regardless of religion and nationality.” When women in difficult pregnancies receive the help that they need, he said, “they are able to make the sense of love, life and maternity triumph within them.”
