The loftiness of this supernatural vocation reveals the greatness and the inestimable value of human life even in its temporal phase." +Pope John Paul II Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life) Click here to visit the Pro-Life page Marriage and Family Ministry "God is love and in Himself He lives a mystery of personal loving communion. Creating the human race in His own image and continually keeping it in being, God inscribed in the humanity of man and woman the vocation, and thus the capacity and responsibility, of love and communion. Love is therefore the fundamental and innate vocation of every human being." +Pope John Paul II Familiaris Consortio (The Christian Family in the Modern World) Click here to visit the Marriage and Family page
