People may think that the Church teaching of openness to life, marriage, and contraception aren’t critically important.
My father was 49 and my mother was about 40 when I was born. As an adult I spoke with my dad (since passed away) and he told me that he obeyed Church teaching and did not practice artifical contraception.
I realize that many literally owe their lives to this loving Church teaching. I could shed a tear when I think about God’s love for us. That is what God seeks, not to condemn us but to see His loving plan. Any of you who may not understand this teaching, I urge you to obey God’s plan of love and have faith in Him. Trust God and do not try to control life artifically because only God is the author of life. It’s amazing how openness to life affects other areas and attitudes of life and makes you a powerful creative person. It’s like “magic”. People talk about overpopulation. If we could get our moral loves straightened out we could certainly manage the earth’s resources creatively. Being open to life also avoids abortion because we have a different attitude towards pregnancy. This is not to mention that artifical contraception can cause abortions. It’s not a shortage of resources on this planet - it’s a shortage of moral creative thinking that puts artificial limits on human progress and potential. Jesus said “do not be afraid.” I think this also includes having children.
I am grateful to my parents for having me, and I am happy that they followed Church teaching!
Trust God, trust His Church, trust! The Church would not lead you the wrong way - the world will lead you the wrong way. “I am the way the truth and the life.” Trust!
