Jack,
It’s a wonderful life at the Dannenfelser home this Christmas. Literally. Our son Joseph, a senior in high school, is playing in the musical by that name. Along with new vocal talents, an outstanding “hee haw!” worthy of his role, and impressive bow tying ability, he has brought home a moving conversion story.
Even if you haven’t seen it, the story’s lesson is one you know well. The importance of the life of one human being in itself, to another person, to a family and community, and to our nation reaches far beyond our ability to see or measure. But to recognize and assert it is imperative and a hedge against great evil. The startling and unique power of one creation is surely a lesson of the nativity and also points to the indispensible, irreplaceable role you are playing in converting the nation to one that protects its most precious gifts. YOUR wonderful life is changing others’.
The conversion of a nation is the sum of millions of conversions—some dramatic, some quiet. Many of the millions of revolutions of the heart come in a startling moment, some are the result of daily incremental conversions spanning years. Each one is a response. Right now, the pro-life movement is ripening into a successful human and civil rights movement because, one by one, individuals are responding to your love, your message about the irrefutable truth of the humanity of the unborn child. Those conversions spark what Martin Luther King called “the fierce urgency of now.” It’s a waking up from a deep slumber, seeing the horror and using every personal gift and talent to end it. It’s when George came home and recognized the precious value of his “wonderful life.”
Merry Christmas, Jack!
