suicide are higher than men. This will all go under my third paragraph where I will be comparing

The book The Gospel of Life gives me a lot of information on how the human life is a
gift given by God. It has a lot of quotes explaining how human life is a gift we need to cherish,
respect, and promote life, its a gift we need to enjoy and not take advantage of. It also mentions
the commandment, you shall not kill and how it is the first prept from the Decalogue which
Jesus quotes to a young boy telling him that its the first commandment he should follow.
I plan to use all this information that the encyclical letter of JPII gives me, especially
where it talks about how we should cherish and respect and not take advantage of the human life.

life is important.

possession of the natural order, the human life is more evident elsewhere in catholic theology.

to own it because life is the biggest gift we can ever receive.
All the information Daniel Cronin provided will go under my first paragraph. I will
explain how the human life is important and how it affects the soul and everything you do. I will
explain how its a huge responsibility and I will explain the Catholics teaching ln the
responsibility lf conserving ones human life, it will include the teachings of the sacred scripture.
