Never Objectivize the Body
God created our first parents as the pinnacle of his creation: “Then God said; Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over… [every living thing] upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male... Continue reading→
“I don’t want to go through with the abortion of my child.”

It really helps to have a loved one to comfort us in carrying our cross as good families do, comforting those who suffer.

Wives, Submit To Your Husbands?
