I want to suggest to you, as I have suggested to others, that we need to make the connection between abortion and euthanasia. Of course there are differences in the human experience, but the ideology is the same, the absolute right to choose, the primacy of personal autonomy and that fact that, once it is accepted in practice, it simply grows out of control. We in the Council for Life of the Bishops Conference have recently produced a thirty-minute video called Through the Valley to encourage people to reflect on how we care for people in critical and terminal illness. It is on our own social media and also on the iCatholic platform. I encourage you to look at it and to share it widely. Through the Valley!

Seeing your life through the Lens of the Gospels
Jesus gave the disciples a share in his mission by sending them out ahead of him. It was a gesture of trust and confidence on his part, even though they did not fully understand his mission. Have you ever been surprised by the trust shown in you by others to speak or act on their behalf? Jesus sent the disciples out two by two. Perhaps your experience gives you examples of the value of having another with you when engaged in an important task. The apparently strange instructions given by Jesus were intended to counteract practices by bogus preachers who used preaching as a mask for money-making. True disciples of Jesus focus on the mission and not on their own comforts. Is it your experience that vested interests can impede a task, whereas having the right motives makes your mission more effective? The task of the disciples was to call people to repent, (metanoia = conversion, change the way we look at God and at other people). Who have been the people in your life who have prompted you to be more trusting in God or more compassionate to people? To whom have you given this call?
