Day for Life, Sunday 16th June
Theme for this year is: The Lord is my shepherd – Compassion and Hope at the End of Life. This year’s Day for life message addresses both the infinite dignity inherent in every human being, and the necessity for human dignity to be upheld in all circumstances.
It also reaffirms the Church’s deep conviction that faith cannot be separated from the defence of human dignity, evangelisation from the promotion of a dignified life, and spirituality from a commitment to the dignity of every human being.
The message for this year reminds us that Jesus did not send the sick away, rather He showed that life always has dignity and that there is no such a thing as a useless life. Catholics are called to defend this gift of life to its natural end and to protect vulnerable citizens from a culture that could pressure them into assisted suicide.
In this way, all are encouraged to support people with the companionship of a listening ear, appropriate treatment, and the best of care, so that their last days can be times of grace, intimacy and love.
