Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Friday, April 09, 2010

Walk in the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
- Galatians 5:16

Reflection: We must insist on the priority of ethics over technology, on the primacy of the person over things, on the superiority of the spirit over nature. Humanity will be served if science and culture ally themselves with conscience.
- Pope John Paul II

Prayer: O Lord, the world proclaims that what is new must be good. Help me to remember that the dignity of the individual is of primary value, and it should never be compromised for convenience' sake.
