For the men and women who gave their life for our freedom
READINGS FOR NEXT SUNDAY
Deuteronomy 4:32-40
Romans 8:14-17
Matthew 28:16-20
Why is suicide wrong?
Someone who commits suicide is generally
experiencing psychological illness, or fear of
hardship, suffering, or torture. However, suicide is
contrary to the God-given gift of life.
It’s natural to preserve and
perpetuate our lives. “We
are obliged to accept life
gratefully and preserve it
for [God’s] honor and the
salvation of our souls. We
are stewards, not owners,
of the life God has
entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of.”
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2280)
Accordingly, helping someone to commit suicide is
a grave sin. It may seem noble to free a person from
suffering. However, it’s still taking of an innocent
life which constitutes an act of murder, whether by
a doctor or another person.
For physicians, it’s even more serious. The
Hippocratic Oath that doctors take stresses “…do
no harm.” Killing the patient is the ultimate harm.
If we take upon ourselves decisions that belong to
God, who can be trusted to exercise such an office?
Because humans can’t have the wisdom and mind
of God, we are incapable of judging as he does.
- Growing in Faith
The sick are comforted
just knowing that we pray
for them. Please remember
these members of our Parish
Family, who are ill, in your
prayers:
Laura Neeter,
Alfred Rivers, Catherine
Culhane, Patrick Culhane and Margaret Ross.
Please also remember the deceased members of our
Parish Family in your prayers: Carol Raimo and
Linda Hickey.
Next weekend, June 2nd and 3rd , we
will take up a collection for our
Buildings and Grounds Maintenance.
Thank you for your continued generosity.
