**The Archdiocese of Osaka launches a Day for Life in defence of unborn children and against suicide. There are 350 thousand abortions each year and about 30 thousand suicides, two wounds that afflict the country. **
Kamagasaki (AsiaNews) - Life “is a treasure of holiness, which must be protected at all costs. Learning to recognize and respect the dignity of every human being, even those not yet born, is the key to improving society and the world in which we live". These are the words with which the auxiliary bishop of Osaka, Msgr. Goro Matsuura, opened the Day for Life organized by the archdiocese Centre for Social Action Sinapis.
Japan is one of the countries with the highest rate of abortions and suicides in the world, where the average age of the population continues to grow, creating various social and economic problems. The local Church, which has always been engaged in a work of defence of life, decided in early 2009 that next year will be dedicated to the awareness on the issue.
The Director of Sinapis, Fr. Kazunori Hayashi, explains: “The Day was also organized with excursions outside the centre, a first for our community. This is very important, because the need to face the world reverberates deeply in our heart, a kind of earthquake, which we need if we want to continue on our journey”.
