RH Bill should not be legalized

God made us all and we should give importance to our lives and those things that He has given to us. We should protect our life, now is the implementation of the RH Bill will help us protect our life? RH Bill is a proposed bill where the government is trying to implement, but the church is against to this because this bill is considered an abortion. We all know this is against the will of God and you commit mortal sin because you are killing somebody. The baby inside the womb of the mother is ready to give life like us but if we agree to the government there will be no baby to be born. "Pro- life groups, and many professionals in the medical and nursing fields, believe that physicians and policy makers should understand and respect the beliefs of patients who consider human life to be present and valuable from the moment of fertilization. Patients should be made fully aware of this information so that they can consent to or refuse the use of artificial contraceptives. In Exodus 20:13 God says "You shall not kill". and this statement is the 5th Commandment of God. The government has become so dismayed as our population growth rapidly increases. It is so alarming because we all know that the more number of people in our country, the more poorer we become. That is why the government are trying for the solution of that problem thus, the RH Bill now exists. For me implementing the RH Bill is not the best alternative way to control our population. Because the implementation of this bill would mean that contraceptive such as pills, IUD, Condoms, and others will be introduced to the young adults as they would undergone into sex education and would lead them into curiosity that might be the reason for them to engage into premarital sex at an early age. If this would happen, there will be a massive destruction of our morality as Christians, HIV is very known in our country and some people having this kind of sickness. In fact our Pope Benedict the 16 agree the proposed bill but it doesn't the government will implement this. Our Pope said that the RH Bill is for the prevention of HIV and not for the control birth. The bill is controversial and the Philippine Constitution says that "shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn conception. If artificial contraceptives are medically prove to as one of their mechanisms of action, then procurement and distribution of such family planning supplies are unconstitutional and illegal. And don't you know by using contraceptives has a side effect to your health.

"Prayer For Vocation"

Lord Jesus, You who have called whom You wanted, call many of us to work for You and with You. Enlighten us with the gift of faith in You. Help us to live through our difficulties as young people of today. And if You call someone among us to be consecrated entirely to You may Your love enable this vocation to grow and persevere until its fulfillment. . . John Paul II

What is Vocation?

What is a Vocation? In the simplest terms, “vocation” means a “call.” So, in general terms your vocation is what God calls you to do with your life. Everybody is called by God to know, love and serve him. The difference is how each one does this.

Individual vocations vary between being single, married, consecrated, religious or a priest. However, we usually use “Vocation” to mean a call to the consecrated, religious or priestly life. That is what we do on this website, but the principles and much of the advice are also applicable to the married and the single life. . In the one life God gave you to live, you have one overriding purpose, to fulfill the will of God, because this is the key to your true destiny, eternal happiness. God gives each one of us a particular mission in life. As we grow and life progresses, he makes it known to us, usually in indirect ways, more as an invitation than an imposition. Discovering and ultimately following your vocation gives the greatest glory and praise to our Creator. It is what we were meant to do. “Take up your cross and follow me” (Mark 8:34).

Mass Readings For February 27, 2011

Isaiah 49:14-15

Psalm 62:2-3, 6-9

1 Corinthians 4:1-5

Matthew 6:24-34

Isaiah 49: 14 – 15

14 But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me.” 15 “Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.

Psalms 62: 2 – 3, 6 – 9

2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly moved. 3 How long will you set upon a man to shatter him, all of you, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? 6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. 7 On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. 8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. [Selah] 9 Men of low estate are but a breath, men of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.

1 Corinthians 4: 1 – 5

1 This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself. 4 I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.

Matthew 6: 24 – 34

24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life?

28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, `What shall we eat?’ or `What shall we drink?’ or `What shall we wear?’

32 For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.
