Through the blood of Jesus we have been delivered from the power of sin. We recognize him in the breaking of the bread, the one whom God raised from the dead and who now sits at his right hand forever.

Let Us Pray…May we actively show respect for those whose lives society does not value, remembering that we all have been redeemed by the Blood of Christ.

“Suicide among the elderly and those suffering from serious illness or disability is not a ‘medical practice’ but a tragic health problem deserving a thoughtful, caring response. No patient must ever be made to feel that his or her live is expendable.” Cathy Cleaver Ruse, National Catholic Register, 11/21/04

A four year old was at the pediatrician for a check up. As the doctor looked down her ears with an otoscope, he asked, "Do you think I'll find Big Bird in here?" The little girl stayed silent. Next, the doctor took a tongue depressor and looked down her throat. He asked, "Do you think I'll find the Cookie Monster down there?" Again, the little girl was silent. Then the doctor put a stethoscope to her chest. As he listened to her heartbeat, he asked, "Do you think I'll hear Barney in there?" "Oh, no!" the little girl replied. "Jesus is in my heart. Barney's on my underpants."
