Peace on Earth

We are approaching Christmas, the time of "Peace on earth, good will to men". In 1994 Mother Theresa, the nun famous for working among the very poor in India, addressed a breakfast meeting in Washington D.C. The crowd included then-President Bill Clinton and other Washington luminaries. During her address, Mother Theresa said "The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child...and if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"

As we prepare to remember the birth of baby Jesus-the One who made peace between God and man-may Mother Theresa's words ring in our ears. For the sake of peace on earth and good will toward men (and women), may Swaziland say no to abortion and yes to life.
