Bishop Mario de Gasperin Gasperin celebrated a special Mass on Wednesday inaugurating the first Shine for Life in Mexico. The shrine is dedicated to promoting the defense of life from conception to natural death.
“What is conceived is the same thing as what is born, a child,” stated Bishop Gasperin in his homily.
Today, human life is threatened by “so many aggressions and is minimized and distorted,” he said, calling for a return to imitating the heart of Mary.
He also warned, “You cannot pretend to protect the social edifice while precisely undermining its foundations: the family and life. The only problem is that God is disappearing from the human horizon.”
