🇻🇦Pope St John Paul II's papal encyclical Evangelium vitae (The Gospel of Life) was issued on this day in 1995

🇻🇦Pope St John Paul II's papal encyclical Evangelium vitae (The Gospel of Life) was issued on this day in 1995. It reaffirms the Church's teaching on the value and inviolability of every human life and appeals to all people to respect, protect, love, and serve human life in all situations.

3️⃣0️⃣Three decades on in a world where threats to life are prevalent at all stages of the human journey, the prophetic message of Evangelium vitae is more important than ever: human life, as a gift of God, is sacred. For this reason, direct attacks on human dignity, such as abortion, euthanasia, warfare, and the death penalty are always unacceptable.

💟Evangelium vitae emphasises the innate dignity of every human life created in the image and likeness of God and thus maintains that societies and individuals, especially Christians, should do everything in their power to protect it at every moment and in every context.
