Just loving.

I mean, it's remarkable when you go back and read that passage.

But

They need each other.

Prayer needs action and action needs prayer.

And so I don't want anyone to misunderstand what I'm saying because you can be out there doing the work and if you're not connected to something deeper, you're gonna burn out really fast.

When I said earlier that the love of God and the love of neighbor sustain each other, they are in relationship.

They are united.

You know, this is the entire mystery of incarnation, is the divine and the human being brought together into one union.

What do you think is the biblical evidence to support the opinion of being pro-abortion?

So before God comes over Mary and we have the incarnation, God asks for Mary's consent.

which is remarkable.

I mean, go back and read this in Luke.

The angel comes down and asks Mary if this is something she wants to do.

And she says, if it is God's will, let it be done.

Let it be, let it happen.

So to me, that is an affirmation in one of our most central stories that creation has to be done with consent.

You cannot force someone to create.

Creation is one of the most sacred acts that we engage in as human beings.

But that has to be done with consent.
