May we tolerate discrimination because of race or creed? May we accept the poverty of others as something unrelated to ourselves? May we allow the sick and disabled to be neglected? May we stand idly by while the being within the mother is killed, even though no one has ever been able to prove that it is other than a human being with an inalienable right to live? May we look the other way when the elderly are put to death because someone questions the quality of their life? To all of these questions, the answer must be a resounding no. And the reason is crystal clear. The victim of discrimination, the impoverished, the sick, the disabled, the unborn, the elderly, are all images of God, mirrors held up to divinity, beings for whom a God would and did die. There can be no genuine faith if there be wavering regarding the rights of those images of divinity.
