This Week’s Message From Our Priests
Fr Homero’s continuing series on Respect Life Issues...
What does the Church say about Euthanasia?
There is no doubt that euthanasia is contrary to the will of God. The Bible describes perfectly how
God created us; how He has a purpose for each of us; how He reserves the right to call us home;
how He cares for us; and how our suffering in this life purifies us and prepares us to spend eternity
with Him in Heaven. From the very beginning, all true Christians have looked upon both suicide and murder as
grave sins: “You shall not kill” says the book of Exodus (20, 13). Pope Pius XII synthesizes the teaching of the
Church with the following words: “Therefore, writes the Pope, medical law can never permit either the physician
or the patient to practice direct euthanasia, and the physician can never practice it either on himself or on others.
Medical law has no authority and the doctor is not obliged to obey it. On the contrary, he is obliged not to take it
into consideration.”
The clearest and most definitive statement on euthanasia issued by the Catholic Church is the 1980 Declaration on
Euthanasia, which says: “No one is permitted to ask for this act of killing, either for himself or herself or for an-
other person entrusted to his or her care; nor can he or she consent to it, either explicitly or implicitly. Nor can
any authority legitimately recommend or permit such an action. For it is a question of the violation of the divine
law, an offense against the dignity of the human person, a crime against life, and an attack on humanity…It is
necessary to state firmly once more that nothing and no one can in any way permit the killing of an innocent hu-
man being, whether a fetus or an embryo, an infant or an adult, an old person, or one suffering from an incurable
disease, or a person who is dying.”
Along with Fr Tim, Dcn Ed, Dcn Matthew, Dcn Dustin, Dcn Tom, Dcn Jake and the wonderful parish staff
here at St Francis , I want to wish you and your family a Blessed and Holy Christmas!
With fraternal affection,
Fr. Homero Cardozo
Pastor

Knights of Columbus Council 8909 is sponsoring
Consecration to the Holy Family.
This event is open to all parishioners of St. Francis of Assisi, but especially our Parish families.
The Church starts at home, and looking to the Holy Family as our inspiration,
we attempt to exemplify the lessons they provide us.
The Consecration to the Holy Family will happen on the Feast of the Holy Family,
December 26th (vigil) and December 27th (solemnity) at the end of each Mass.
Prayer cards will be made available before these Masses, and we encourage families to prepare for
the Consecration at least a week before the event through Family prayer, penance, and fasting.

13). El Papa Pío XII sintetiza la enseñanza de la Iglesia con las siguientes

nunca puede practicarla ni en sí mismo ni en otros. La ley médica no tiene
autoridad y el médico no está obligado a obedecerla. Al contrario, está ob-
ligado a no tenerlo en cuenta”.
La declaración más clara y definitiva sobre la eutanasia emitida por la Igle-
sia Católica es la Declaración sobre la eutanasia de 1980, que dice: “A nadie
se le permite pedir este acto de matar, ni para sí mismo ni para otra persona
confiada a su poder; tampoco puede dar su consentimiento, ni explícita ni
implícitamente. Ninguna autoridad puede recomendar o permitir
legítimamente tal acción. Porque se trata de la violación de la ley divina, de
una ofensa a la dignidad de la persona humana, de un crimen contra la
vida, de un atentado a la humanidad ... Es necesario afirmar una vez más
con firmeza que nada ni nadie puede en ningún caso, permitir la muerte de
un ser humano inocente, ya sea un feto o un embrión, un bebé o un adulto,
un anciano o alguien que padezca una enfermedad incurable, o una persona
que esté muriendo".
Con afecto fraternal,
Fr. Homero C.You can also read
