Strangely, the same four words that were used by The Lord Jesus to save
the world were also used by some to promote abortion: “This is my body.”
The same simple words are spoken from opposite ends of the universe,
with totally contrary meanings and opposite results. “This is my body,”
some say, “I can do what I want, even if if means killing my child.”
“This is my body,” Jesus says through his priests, “given up for you.”
He does not cling to it so that we may die. He gives it away so that we
may live.
--Fr. Frank Pavone
