Vatican City, Oct 26, 2017 \/ 03:01 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>)<\/span>.- In her own words, Bridget Brown is \u201ca self-advocate, an inclusion advocate, an actress\u2026 and a young woman with Down syndrome.\u201d She also loves her life and wants others to know that each and every person is precious.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world needs to know that I don\u2019t \u2018suffer\u2019 from Down syndrome,\u201d she wrote in a letter to Pope Francis. \u201cI have a full and wonderful life, and I am filled with joy to be alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely love my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown met Pope Francis Oct. 21 as part of a Vatican-sponsored conference dedicated to catechesis for those with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cCatechesis and Persons with Disabilities: A Necessary Engagement in the Daily Pastoral Life of the Church,\u201d the conference took place Oct. 20-22 at the Pontifical Urbanianum University in Rome.<\/p>\n

Brown told CNA Oct. 20 that she was very excited to meet the Pope with her parents. She was also looking forward to speaking with him about \u201cthe right to life of babies with Down syndrome.\u201d<\/div>\n

Tragically, children with Down syndrome are often aborted, she said, pointing to the example of an August article from CBS News declaring that\u00a0Iceland is \u201ceradicating Down syndrome\u201d<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0through abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople with Down syndrome are so precious,\u201d she said. \u201cI love babies, and I especially love babies with Down syndrome.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a letter to Pope Francis, she said that her heart breaks when she thinks that she might be part of the last generation of people with Down syndrome and that \u201cthe world will never again benefit from our gifts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown noted that people with disabilities are often the first to be killed during genocides, and observed that Adolph Hitler\u2019s mass killings began with the murder of disabled children.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems to me we are doing the same thing to children with disabilities today in our country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Even though Brown finds this to be discouraging at times, she said she still has hope, praying for those who think people with disabilities don\u2019t have the right to live.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in the sacred dignity of all people. And most people I know with disabilities can lead full and productive lives, just like me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The right to life of people with disabilities should never be disregarded, Brown told CNA. \u201cGod said\u2026that we have a purpose, no matter who we are. It\u2019s not right to exclude or kill anybody, because we are part of the human race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quoting Meister Eckhart, a medieval Dominican theologian, she said, \u201cIf the only prayer I say in my life is ‘thank you,’ that would be enough.\u201d<\/div>\n

Brown, who spoke at the conference Oct. 21, noted that she attended to help promote inclusion in parishes, hoping they will open their doors \u201cto allow people with disabilities to be included in the Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

She hopes people walk away from the conference with a deeper realization that \u201cpeople with disabilities have a purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than that, she wants to move the conversation about people with disabilities beyond inclusion.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about more than just the right to survive, she said, but about being able \u201cto dwell in the possibilities, to have fun and full, exciting lives,\u201d just like anyone else.<\/p>\n
