Reflection
When suffering and frailty prompt suggestions that ending life is a solution, vulnerable individuals often feel that their presence has become a burden. Protecting every person requires expanding compassionate palliative care, offering true comfort, and standing alongside those facing illness or despair. Ask God to give lawmakers and healthcare workers deep wisdom to uphold the inherent dignity of human life. Pray for a culture that honours the elderly, sick, and suffering, ensuring no one feels pressured to surrender their right to live.
Prayer
Pray against the expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) and the cultural drift toward devaluing life.
