Two Lives at the Service of Life

The threats to human dignity and the sanctity of life that Jérôme Lejeune and John Paul II strove so mightily to resist have intensified.

George Weigel, Catholic World Report

These two lives in the service of life were built on one great conviction, an insightful analysis, and two firm commitments:

First, the conviction that there are truths inscribed in the world and in us, truths that we can know by both philosophical and scientific reason in a searching process that can be facilitated by attending to divine revelation;

Second, a clear reading of the signs of these times, in which humanity was putting itself in grave jeopardy by losing its grip on those truths, and most especially the truth that every human life is not merely an aggregate of biological materials but rather the life of a person, a spiritual being with an infinite value and an eternal destiny;

Third, a firm commitment to defend the uniqueness of every human life, in whatever condition and at whatever stage of development; and

Fourth, an equally firm commitment to mount that defense of life in terms that could be engaged by those who were losing their grip on the truths inscribed in nature and in us.
