Culture of Life focus: Marginalization of the Disabled,
Euthanasia, and Assisted Suicide
Prayer intentions:
- For brothers and sisters with disabilities, who have been excluded from family life, the life of society, and from the church.
- For all who live with the pain of abandonment: the disabled, the elderly, the children of the streets, the homeless, the prisoner, the lonely.
- For all who have lost hope for life, that they may encounter a new source of hope in genuine friendships.
- For all who have embraced the demonic idea that humane care and treatment can include the administration of death.
For reflection: what choices can we make in solidarity with those who live with disabilities, and for those who have lost all hope and the will to live?
