When the Blessed Mother visited Elizabeth, \u201cthe infant leaped in her womb\u201d (Luke 1:41). Even before birth, life recognized Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">By this truth, we know that every child in the womb of his or her mother is made in the image and likeness of Christ. Each baby bears infinite dignity. Each life is sacred.&nbsp;<strong>And each deserves life\u2014nothing less.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This is why the mission of Cincinnati Right to Life matters so deeply. It is why we will continue to stand, to speak, and to act with courage and compassion. We will fight for every single life and not give up\u2014because love does not give up, and truth does not retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">And the Word became flesh<br>and made his dwelling among us,<br>and we saw his glory,<br>the glory as of the Father\u2019s only Son,<br>full of grace and truth.\u00a0<em>John 1:14<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>May the peace of the Christ Child fill your heart and your home this Christmas season. Thank you for standing with us, for defending the most vulnerable, and for being a witness to life in a world that so desperately needs hope.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong>Merry Christmas, and may God bless you abundantly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In Christ,<br>Cincinnati Right to Life<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friends, As we celebrate the holy season of Christmas, we are drawn once again to the profound mystery of the Incarnation\u2014the moment when God entered the world as a child.
