‘We are called to witness to truth’ babies aborted each year since the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision.
Marking the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity as well as the anniversary of
Roe vs. Wade, the service was organized by the Interfaith Committee for Life.
Archbishop Niederauer says
The following is an excerpt from Archbishop George Niederauer’s reflection at an
Interfaith Memorial Service for the victims of abortion Jan 22 at Holy Trinity Greek
Orthodox Church. (See www.catholic-sf.org and www.sfarchdiocese.org for full text.) Join Our
As in the story [Luke 20:9-26] of the tenant farmers and the vineyard, the sins of
pride and selfishness have led us to behave as if we are the absolute masters of human Celebration
life, as if we have no accountability to anyone beyond ourselves, as if we have the right of
to do violence to human life when it suits our purposes. Nevertheless, God still sends his
servants, the prophets among us, to call us back to respect for, to accountability for, the
precious gift of human life. We are called to witness to the truth about the gift of human WORLD DAY
life, and to stand together with the modern prophets as they speak truth to the powers of
this world. We give this witness when we oppose abortion and assisted suicide, as well OF THE SICK
as the laws, organizations and individuals who promote them.
However, as we witness to the precious value of human life, we may not resort to the
tactics of those who oppose us. In this parable of Jesus, the servants who represent the
owner of the vineyard suffer the violence of the farmers, but we are not told that they ARCHBISHOP
responded in kind. In our time, many do violate human life violently, but we are not GEORGE
therefore entitled to speak or act with violence. Nor may we become self-righteous, judg-
ing ourselves to be better, holier, more virtuous, or more pleasing to God than others are.
NIEDERAUER
Indeed, we are not to judge ourselves or them—period. As St. Paul teaches, we leave the Principal Celebrant
judging of persons to God. Serving the truth does not exempt us from serving humbly.
