“Thus an act or omission which, of itself or by intention, causes death in order to eliminate suffering constitutes a murder gravely contrary to the dignity of the human person and to the respect due to the living God, his Creator. The error of judgment into which one can fall in good faith does not change the nature of this murderous act, which must always be forbidden and excluded.”Catechism of the Catholic Church (# 2277)

Please pray that we may all be authentic witnesses to a “Culture of Life” and an end to the “Culture of Death” that permeates our world. Please place your “Rosaries for Life” count for this week in the baskets/boxes located in the church.
