"To love is to will the good of the other."

We do not pray to change divine decree, but only to obtain what God has decided will be obtained through prayer. In other words, as Saint Gregory says, by asking, men deserve to receive what the all powerful God has decreed from all eternity to give them.

As Catholics we believe every human life has value. As Catholics we also believe in every country having laws and regulations. If I don’t like the law in my country and go to another country, I must honor and respect that country’s laws. It’s best that the country you are from respect life.

Surrender all other love in order to love Him, for Jesus demands our love above everything else. Those who cling to worldly things will fall when they fail. But those who cling to Jesus will stand firm for ever. So love Him and keep Him as your friend.” (Thomas a Kempis – Imitation of Christ 2.7).
