Preaching on abortion, 4th Sunday, Year B, Pro-Life Leader Frank Pavone of Priests for Life
Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, reflects on the Sunday readings for the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B and their message about abortion.
For more information about what the Sunday readings, and the whole Bible, say about abortion, and for resources for your Church, see https://www.ProLifePreaching.org. You can order there the book “Proclaiming the Message of Life,” which contains these reflections for all the Sunday readings in the lectionary.
Dt 18:15-20
1 Cor 7:32-35
Mk 1:21-28
The Gospel and First Reading for this Sunday raise the issue of the authority of those who speak the Word of God. Jesus taught with authority because he is the Word of God. The prophets taught with authority because God put his own words into their mouths. The Church today teaches with authority because, as the Body of Christ, she continues his teaching mission or, to be more precise, Christ himself continues teaching through his Church. Each member of the Church, by virtue of baptism and confirmation, has a prophetic role, and echoes the Word of God himself, both by words and example.
These themes are important in the battle between the Culture of Life and the Culture of Death, because our opponents ask why we are “imposing our morality on everyone else.” In reality, however, we are not imposing anything. We are speaking a truth which is not our own, and which simply reflects the reality of how we are made and what the moral law is. If anything is “imposed,” it has already been imposed by God. We are witnesses to him. We have no authority of our own; we simply proclaim his Word. By that fact, moreover, we are equally bound by what we proclaim as are those to whom we proclaim it.
This is why the proclamation of the pro-life message does not imply some kind of moral superiority on the part of those who proclaim it. Rather, it implies solidarity, and a common acknowledgement of the God of life, who is Lord of those who preach and those who hear.

Preaching on abortion, 3rd Sunday, Year B, Pro-Life Leader Frank Pavone of Priests for Life

Jon 3:1-5, 10
1 Cor 7:29-31
Mk 1:14-20
“Repent” is the first message of Jesus as he begins his public ministry, as today’s Gospel makes clear. It was also the first message of John the Baptizer as he began preparing the way for Christ (Mark 1:4), and was the first theme that Peter proclaimed on the first Pentecost (Acts 2:38). The preaching of Jonah foreshadowed all of this, and the work of the Church today echoes it.
Our world needs to repent of the sin of abortion.
Many pro-life believers think that our first spiritual duty in the face of abortion is to pray. But it is not. Our first duty is to repent. God does not simply prohibit us from committing abortion. He prohibits us from tolerating it. He calls us to become active in fighting it.
January 22, 1973 was the date of the tragic Roe vs. Wade decision that permitted unlimited abortion in the United States and prevented the people from protecting the unborn. Fortunately, that decision has now been reversed, though the work of protecting the unborn is not finished.
The date of January 22 will remain a sad commemoration of the tens of millions of lives lost to abortion. This commemoration should stir us each day to a deeper and deeper repentance from the works of death.
