And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."

Paragraph 783 of the Catechism says that Jesus is established as our “prophet, priest and king”.

In Hebrew the word rechem is the root word for compassion, mercy and womb. It is also the root for one of the Biblical names of God. In Deuteronomy 4:31 God is referenced as: "...Yahweh your God is a merciful God" [El Rachem].
