SEX & ABORTION

CURRENT READS IN SOCIETY
32% of young Filipinos aged 15-24 have engaged premarital sex
1 of 3 have premarital sex (kasal ka na may kabit ka pa)
7.3% youth have casual sex (no attachment-FuBu)
1/3 of women aged 15 of 44 choose abortion (99% of these women are Catholic)
14% ages 15-19 becomes pregnant
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
Low value placed on sex (our society is driven by sex—sex is only for entertainment purposes, for pleasure)
Low value placed on relationship (throw away culture—pag luma na, tapon na)
Misguided sense of liberation (there are some values that don’t get old—like love, truth, honesty)
Just plain stupidity and horniness

Physical development of the body

Ability to control your emotions

Dependability
4. Social maturity/ dimension
The ability to admit your mistake and say sorry
Being in a relationship means that sometimes you have to say sorry even if you don’t want to
Would you rather say sorry than argue and win the argument but lose your partner
You say sorry para maibsan yung galit, hindi para takasan young problema. Pag kalmado na kayo pareho, then you talk about it

sex is something that you manipulate in a relationship
2. MODERN PRUDE
sees sex as a necessary evil that is only used for the propagation of society
*HOLDING HANDS IS A PRELUDE TO HAVING SEX

*HOLDING HANDS IS LIKE HAVING SEX
Truth is, God creates man and woman as His co-creator which should be seen in the family
We are created as sexual being and sexuality is a part of what it means to be human
Sexuality is not just the act itself but a fundamental component of personalty
It is through sex that we become more man or woman-- when you're so into it, you primal instincts come out therefore you become more man or more woman
It is a relational power through which we show understanding , warmth and compassion

In begetting children, the couple becomes co-creators of God

FAMILY
SEAT OF COMMUNION
The family is thus the place where parents become their children's first teachers in the faith
Children, for their part, are called to accpt the commandment
The couple that love begets life that is a true, living icon--capable of revealing God, the Creator and Savior
For this reason, fruitful love becomes a symbol of God's inner life
"Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain... Lo, sons are heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb, a reward. Like arrows in the
hand of a warrior are the sons of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies
in the gate."
If the parents are in some the foundations of the home, the children are like the "living stones" of the family (cf. 1Pater 2:5)
SANCTUARY OF LIFE
A child deserves to be born of love
God made us instruments of his love, entrusting to us the responsibility for the future of mankind, through the transmission of human life
The child who is born "does not come from outside as something added on to the mutual love of the spouses, but springs from the very heart of the mutual
giving, as its fruit and fulfilment...one cannot be denied without disfiguring that love itself.
Thus the Creator made man and woman share in the work of His creation and, at the same time, made them instruments of His love, entrusting to them the
responsibility for the future of mankind, through the transmission of human life (Relatio Finalis 2015, 63)
AGENTS OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Overall EDUCATION of children is "MOST SERIOUS DUTY" and at the same time a "PRIMARY RIGHT' of parents. This is not just a task or a burden, but an
ESSENTIAL AND INALIENABLE RIGHT that parents are called to defend and which no one may claim to deprive them
Schools DO NOT REPLACE parents, but complement them. This is a basic principle: "All other participants in the process of education are only able to carry
out their responsibilities in the name of the parents, with their consent and, to certain degree, with their authorization
By their reception of the Sacrament of Marriage the parents become ministers of their children's education
LEAVEN OF EVANGELIZATION
