The word "passion" comes from the Latin meaning "to suffer." To have a passion is to suffer for the good of something. Among my many passions, perhaps the strongest is the cause of the unborn, who are killed at alarming rates of over 3,500 each day in America. I just read that 90% of children diagnosed in the womb with down syndrome (sometimes erroneously) are aborted. I am proud to be in the the Society of Jesus with pro-life Jesuit medical doctors, such as my dear novice brother, Dr. Kevin Embach who is teaching at Loyola Medical School this semester. One of my hopes for my life in the Jesuits is to be able to support mothers and fathers to choose life for their children. This is a homily that was preached for students of Jesuit high schools and universities that came to the March for Life this past weekend.
