The Mexican Episcopal Conference Calls for Promoting Family and Values During the Week for Life 2025
The Mexican Episcopal Conference (CEM) has released a powerful message in light of the upcoming “Week for Life 2025”, highlighting the crucial need to prioritize the family and education in values. In a world filled with a culture of death and disregard for human dignity, the bishops stress the importance of embracing a culture of life and respect.
Within their statement, the CEM urges individuals to open their minds to the truth and become messengers of hope and life. They emphasize the necessity of standing in solidarity with those who are suffering and working together towards a united and reconciled Mexico. Additionally, they underscore the significance of the family as the foundation of society and the role of values education in creating a more just and compassionate nation.
This call to action comes as part of the Jubilee of Hope 2025, a special Holy Year dedicated to reflecting on the Christian virtue of hope. Pope Francis has highlighted the importance of using this Jubilee as an opportunity to restore hope and trust, especially in a world facing numerous conflicts and global challenges.
The Mexican bishops are calling on society to actively engage in the Week for Life activities by promoting initiatives that foster unity, shared responsibility, and the common good. They specifically urge the faithful to deepen their dialogue with God, echoing the Pope’s words that “prayer is the breath of faith.”
In their closing remarks, the CEM reiterates their commitment to supporting families and all sectors of society in cultivating a culture that cherishes and protects life at every stage, from conception to natural death. They encourage everyone to play an active role in this transformation, becoming beacons of hope amidst the current adversities.
