The core of the Gospel of
Life
Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae,
#81
- The proclamation of a living God
- who is close to us,
- who calls us to profound communion
with himself and
- awakens in us the certain hope of
eternal life.
- It is the affirmation of the
inseparable connection between the person, his life and his
bodiliness.
- It is the presentation of human life
as a life of relationship,
- a gift of God,
- the fruit and sign of his love.
- It is the proclamation that Jesus has
a unique relationship with every person,
- which enables us to see in every human
face the face of Christ.
- It is the call for a “sincere gift of
self’
- as the fullest way to realize our
personal freedom.
- It also invokes making clear all
the consequences of this Gospel.
- This can be summed up as follows:
human life, as a gift of God, is sacred and inviolable.
