forever.”
To all Mother’s, Grandmother’s

Happy Mother’s Day and have a
very blessed day!

and community services across the country.
This day reminds us that health and healing are essential
aspects of our baptismal vocation. We are called to take
responsibility for our personal health: to prevent illness
and to seek a healthy lifestyle. Health means concern
for the physical, emotional, social and spiritual health of
our communities, respect for God’s creatures and the
nurturing of the whole earth.

The responsibility to protect one another’s life
The teaching of the Catholic Church and the stance of
the Catholic Bishops of Canada affirm the sacredness
and dignity of human life. Suicide and euthanasia are
contrary to the most profound natural inclination of each
human being to live and preserve life. Furthermore, they
contradict the fundamental responsibility that human
beings have to protect one another and to enhance the
quality of health and social care which every human life
deserves, from conception to natural death. To learn
more about physician-assisted suicide, visit
www.hamiltondiocese.com or www.cccb.ca/site/eng/
media-room/euthanasia-and-assisted-suicide/4463campaigns-against-physician-assisted-suicide.
Dear Lord,
I have so many friends and loved ones who are
struggling right now. You know their needs.
Please touch them with your love, protect them
and give them strength to face their challenges
today. Amen.
Thank you for your generosity!
