WORD OF LIFE

In the eyes of the world those who are in the last stages of life are somehow diminished in their humanity and should be eliminated. We must see them through God’s eyes and recognize that each and every person is created in His image and likeness and that we are all connected to God and to each other. We are our brother’s keeper and our sister’s helper. Cain who forgot he was his brother’s keeper ended up becoming his executioner. “Thou shall not kill” is God’s law and it is written our hearts by our Creator. - Cardinal Sean O’Malley, Archbishop of Boston, Homily, Red Mass, September 19, 2011
