Message for the 33rd National Day for Life (February 6, 2011)

" Educating the fullness of life "

Education is the challenge and the urgent task to which we are called, each in its proper role and specific vocation.
We hope and we strive to educate the fullness of life, supporting and growing, from the new generations, a culture of life and accept that to keep it from conception to its natural end and that will always encourage, even when it is weak and in need of help.
As observed by Pope Benedict XVI, "the root of the crisis in education there is a crisis of confidence in life" (Letter to the Diocese and the city of Rome on the urgent task dell’educazione, 21 gennaio 2008). Con preoccupante frequenza, la cronaca riferisce episodi di efferata violenza: creature a cui è impedito di nascere, esistenze brutalmente spezzate, anziani abbandonati, vittime di incidenti sulla strada e sul lavoro.
Cogliamo in questo il segno di un’estenuazione della cultura della vita, l’unica capace di educare al rispetto e alla cura di essa in ogni stagione e particolarmente nelle sue espressioni più fragili. Il fattore più inquietante è l’assuefazione: tutto pare ormai normale e lascia intravedere un’umanità sorda al grido di chi non può difendersi. Smarrito il senso di Dio, l’uomo smarrisce se stesso: «l’oblio di Dio rende opaca the creature itself "(Gaudium et Spes, 36).
therefore needed cultural change, propitiated by the many encouraging signs of hope, seeds of an authentic civilization of love, in the Church and Italian society. Many men and women of good will, young, laity, priests and consecrated persons are strongly committed to defending and promoting life. Thanks to them this year too many women, even in difficult circumstances, will be put in a position to accept the origin of life, overcoming the temptation of abortion.
We cordially thank the families, parishes, religious institutes, counseling centers of Christian inspiration and all the associations che giorno dopo giorno si adoperano per sostenere la vita nascente, tendendo la mano a chi è in difficoltà e da solo non riuscirebbe a fare fronte agli impegni che essa comporta.
Quest’azione di sostegno verso la vita che nasce, per essere davvero feconda, esige un contesto ecclesiale propizio, come pure interventi sociali e legislativi mirati. Occorre diffondere un nuovo umanesimo, educando ogni persona di buona volontà, e in particolare le giovani generazioni, a guardare alla vita come al dono più alto che Dio ha fatto all’umanità. «L’uomo – afferma Benedetto XVI – è veramente creato per ciò che è grande, per l’infinito. Il desiderio della vita più grande è un segno that He created us, who brought his "footprint". God is life, and so each creature tends to life in a unique and special about the human person, made in the image of God, aspire to love, joy and peace "(Message for the Twenty-sixth World Youth Day 2011, August 6, 2010, n. 1).
is precisely the beauty and power of love to give full meaning to life and result in a spirit of sacrifice, dedication and generous frequent accompaniment. We remember with gratitude to the many families in their homes who care for elderly family members and spouses who, sometimes in hardship, enthusiastically welcome new creatures. We look with affection to parents, with great patience, accompany the teen in the human and spiritual growth and to orient them with great tenderness for what is right and good. We like to highlight the contribution of those grandparents who, selflessly, we also teaching them the wisdom to new generations and helping them to discern, in the light of their experience, what really matters.
Beyond the walls of your home, many young people find true masters of life: there are priests who spend the communities entrusted to them, expressing the fatherhood of God to the young and the poor are the teachers who, with passion and skill, introduce the mystery of life, making the school experience and a place of true generative education. We thank them also.
Every human environment, animated by an appropriate educational activity can become productive and make life flourish. You must, however, that the yearning for brotherhood, located deep in the heart of every man, is illuminated by an awareness of sonship and gratitude for a gift so great, giving wings to the desire for fullness of meaning of human existence. Our lifestyle, characterized by a commitment to the gift of self, becomes a hymn of praise and makes us sowers of hope in these difficult times and exciting.
