Feast of St. Martha, July 29, 2013
Deacon Robert Banet
I was reading about Ani.
Ani?
Yes, she lost her baby. Miscarriage. She really grieved about it.
Oh?
Yes, she refused to eat.
What did people do?
They prayed theydid everything they could to help her.
Where did this happen?
In Belgium. At the Brussels Zoo.
What!
Yes, you see Ani was an elephant.
Did this really happen?
Yes, not too long ago. I’m amazed at the reaction that people had. Here in this country, we actually encourage mothers to take the life of their children.
Promote?
Yes. The government allows it and even encourages it.
I find this hard to take.
Indeed it is. We seem to value animal life higher than human.
Yes. At least in come cases.
God help us.
