Chaste Natural Family Planning leads to a Culture of Life

1.There will be no freedom from the culture of death and fear without building a culture of life.

  1. There will be no culture of life without a stop to legalized abortion.
  2. There will be no stopping abortion without a widespread acceptance of chastity. 
  3. There will be no widespread acceptance of chastity outside of marriage without a widespread acceptance of chastity within marriage.
  4. There will be no acceptance of marital chastity without the rejection of unnatural forms of birth control, many of which can also cause early abortions.
  5. There will be no widespread rejection of unnatural forms of birth control without the widespread knowledge and practice of natural family planning.
  6. There will probably be very limited acceptance of chaste natural family planning unless it is taught in the context of authentic Christian discipleship.
  7. Widespread acceptance of chaste NFP will happen only when the clergy require couples to learn NFP—including ecological breastfeeding and the covenant meaning of the marriage act—as a normal part of preparation for Christian marriage.

Now THAT is something truly worth praying for, and Lent is a special time for prayer.
