Word of Life Quote
“Suicidal individuals—with or without a terminal
illness—typically do not want to die...The patient
requesting assisted suicide is often asking, “Does
anyone want me to be alive, or care enough to talk me
out of this request and support me through this
difficult time?”
USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities
“Every Suicide is Tragic”
"The person who is trustworthy in very small matters
is also trustworthy in great ones; and the person who
is dishonest in very small matters is also dishonest in
great ones. If, therefore, you are not trustworthy with
dishonest wealth, who will trust you with true
wealth?" - Lk 16:10-11

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“No servant can serve two masters. He will hate one and love the
other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and mammon (wealth).” (Luke 16:13) Is money a
“god” that you put before God? Giving money to
support the Church and other charity is a pillar of our
faith, just like attending Mass every Sunday and
participating in parish ministry. Giving money frees
us from being a slave to money. It increases our
dependence on God and our trust that God will
provide all that we need.
