So Often, complicated and expensive procedures have been resorted to and Often without success when the simple instruction of one experienced woman to another provides the essential information which results in a baby being born. Pregnancy and birth are momentous events in a woman's life no matter what the circumstances surrounding the conception of the child. Instead of seeing the gates of Heaven open at the birth of her baby and experiencing the meeting with the Creator in this moment of joy, an untaught woman may only see the gown and masked obstetrician who has judged that three children are more than enough for her and there he stands, his scalpel in his hand. He who has removed the Creed from the Liturgy has usurped the role of the Creator of heaven and earth and claims he is motivated by love. But this is not love.
Love never takes the easy way, the broad highway.
It more often fights its way upwards along a thorny path. Different from all the other situations where men and women find themselves battling on alone, marriage involves a partnership of two. The sexual relationship, part of which is physical, plays a paramount role. The act of love is designed principally for the expression of unity with the Creator who is infinitely loving and wise. Because man and woman have been endowed with the freedom of choosing to do the Creator's will, they are capable of so choosing this sublime moment of birth.
