“He is the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.” This is St Peter preaching again in the First Reading from the Acts of the Apos-tles. However, in this instance he is speaking at his own trial. He and St. John had been imprisoned. What a different man Peter is com-pared to the man who denied Jesus in fear! Peter is no longer intimidated by the authorities; keep in mind that this is in effect the same court which con-demned Christ to crucifixion. Earlier in Acts we witness Peter and the other disciples being filled with the Holy Spirit. This is not a one-time event, but something ongoing throughout their lives. A woman named Corrie Ten Boom was a resistance leader and practitioner in the Netherlands in World War II. She and her sister provided a hiding place for Jews and others being sought by the Nazis. She later wrote a

book titled The Hiding Placeabout those experiences. The Ten Booms were betrayed in 1944, arrested, and brought to trial. What she stated at that trial very much parallels what we hear from St. Peter today. She cited the power of the Holy Spirit. She said, “Trying to do the Lord’s work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.” Like St. Peter and Corrie Ten Boom, we are all filled with the Holy Spirit. Do we let it flow out of us? Babies In The Womb Are “Pre-Born” Well-chosen words have power. Consider how the pro-abortion advocates marketed and sold their endorsement of abortion. It is not called pro-murder. It is called pro-choice. They appealed to the culture’s mentality; a mental-ity that we had been exhibit-ing since the 1960s. We live in a cafeteria culture. Thus, the Madison Avenue advertising gurus cleverly chose “pro-choice” in promoting death, but also in concealing the truth; pro-murder. Therefore, with the knowledge and scientific under-standing that life begins at fertilization, and that we are living human beings in the womb, why don’t we all use the reference “preborn”? If we support life, and acknowledge that a child deserves our respect, support and protection while waiting comfortably in the womb until the birth process, why not give them the dignity they deserve and refer to them as preborn? Let’s pro-claim life accurately. Because now that we know the truth, referring to them as anything less is not only un-kind, it is also uninformed. By Pro-Life
