The Value of Life
Life is like an arch. Discard one segment as worthless and
the span collapses, the value of all life is brought low.
Life is Non-Negotiable
"What is really at stake in this
matter of making exceptions to the
right to live?
Answer: The real issue is whether life is
a gift of God or of the State. Innocent
life is non-negotiable precisely because
it comes from God."
Pope John Paul II

For you created my inmost being; you knit me

I praise you because I am fearfully and

My frame was not hidden from you when I was
made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the
earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.

Father John Burns (331-0872) is available by appointment only for Spiritual Direction and Confession in his apartment. His
phone may be on “silent” if he is with someone so please leave a message. He is also available to say Masses for deceased or
living intentions. His address is 514D Douglas St., Bakersfield/Oildale. The entrance is off China Grade Loop West of McCray in
the Whispering Meadows complex. Call Fr. John for directions.
The Value of Life
Life is like an arch. Discard one segment as worthless and
the span collapses, the value of all life is brought low.
Life is Non-Negotiable
"What is really at stake in this
matter of making exceptions to the
right to live?
Answer: The real issue is whether life is
a gift of God or of the State. Innocent
life is non-negotiable precisely because
it comes from God."
Pope John Paul II

Psalm of the Unborn
For you created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I
know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was
made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the
earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your
book before one of them came to be
Psalm 139: 13-16
