In God’s eyes every life is precious, every life counts. Every child is born with a mission which nobody else is meant to accomplish. Many children in our time do not grow to accomplish their particular mission because our socio-political and economic system do not allow children to grow and become strong. Many die of hunger and disease before they reach the age of fire. When we allow this to happen we throw away God’s own gift for the world. Who would know what kind of gift’s these children would become for humanity if they were given a chance to live. We stand to lose when these gifts are not allowed full expression. God’s grace is upon every child. The peaceful face of every child is God’s own image and likeness. It is our duty to protect and care for it, for each one as it encloses God’s own mystery.
