In our individualistic culture, 
everyone wants to stand out from the crowd.
Okay, fine.
Just remember that the tallest blade of grass
gets cut first.

Does this sound like what's happening--again--today?

"For no order can be achieved except in accordance with God's law. The new order of the world must be based on the historical fulfillment of the order of God, otherwise it will be just another edifice on shifting sand doomed to destruction like the rest. Human regeneration must come from within according to the pattern which defines us as being created in God's image. Otherwise history will repeat itself, and we shall be faced with further madness and confusion." (Fr. Alfred Delp, SJ, executed by the Nazis in 1945.)

And what is God's order? Children who are conceived and born. Marriage between a man and a woman. Natural death. Carrying a cross and climbing it into heaven.
