TAC Students Make the Case for Life on EWTN
TAC students on EWTN; coverage begins at 16:45 mark.
A little over 12 hours after their departure on Friday afternoon, 140 students from Thomas Aquinas College, California, arrived in San Francisco and joined a throng some thousands strong to witness to the Gospel of life — and in the case of Hannah Chadwick (’27), Luke Connelly (’27), and Elena Walz (’26), to share that zeal with thousands more via EWTN.
“We’re blessed to pursue everything we’re pursuing, to read the Bible and to read the Great Books,” Miss Chadwick told EWTN’s Rev. Mark Mary, O.F.M. “But part of that blessing is sharing it. We read from the Gospel of Matthew that Christ tells us to be a light, to spread our light on the earth. Part of that is spreading what we believe and know is true.” Added Mr. Connelly, “I came because our school and our faith promote the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death. The curriculum teaches us that all truth matters — and the truth is that these are living human beings.”
In addition to commending their presence at the Walk, Fr. Mark Mary also noted students’ widespread commitment to the pro-life cause, which includes participation in 40 Days for Life campaigns throughout the year. Miss Walz described one of her many beautiful encounters in front of Planned Parenthood. “A couple drove into the parking lot, and I noticed that they didn’t get out of the car for a while,” she said. “I turned around to see them hugging in the parking lot, then all of a sudden they’ve gotten back in the car and they’re leaving, and the man yells out the window, ‘Thank you so much for what you do!’”
While the pro-life movement continues to flourish through the extraordinary witness of events such as the Walk for Life and the ordinary witness of praying in protest outside abortion clinics, Fr. Mark Mary looked to the future, asking the students how best to communicate the cause to today’s young people. “We’re in a time of our lives where there’s a lot of talk about finding yourself and knowing who you are,” said Miss Walz on behalf of her generational confreres. “Knowing who you are is knowing the person that God created you to be, and that’s true whether you’re 20 years old, whether you’re 50 years old — or whether you’re 5 months old.”
