Video – Face of Pro-Life #166: Balanced Approach to Prolife

Face of Pro-Life #166 – Fr. Angelo Geiger on striking a balance ( 30min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Fr. Angelo Geiger talks with Corinn Dahm on a balanced approach to speaking about pro-life issues that incorporates both the left and the right, to have truth and charity, not one or the other and thus avoid self-righteousness. He relates this to preaching of Jesus Christ who was very gentle with the prostitutes and adulterers but very harsh on the self-righteous religious leaders. Striking this balance is very important to getting our pro-life message across.

Ave Maria!

Variety #193: Fr Ward: Do Not Tolerate the Lie

Friday, February 3rd, 2012
Father Thomas Ward
Variety #193 – Fr. Thomas Ward ( 18min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Fr. Thomas Ward of St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Binghamton, NY, expounds on the sacred truth of the Dignity of the Human Person. This Truth is under attack on all sides by the one who is the “Father of lies” and “Murderer from the beginning.” Father Ward explains how tolerance of lies and sin ultimately leads to the destruction of human life, and the loss of souls.

He then exhorts us to respond with uncompromising truth, generous kindness, and universal charity, all of which must animate the merciful work of the Pro-Life movement.

This sermon was given for the Annual Pro-Life Prayer Service organized by the Broome County Right to Life Committee.

Ave Maria!
