Now that euthanasia/assisted suicide is legal in Canada, doctors in Ontario are being forced to help arrange for the killing of their patients. If your family doctor or surgeon objects to providing a referral for assisted suicide/ euthanasia, they could be fined, disciplined or even removed from their practice. Many may be forced to retire or move outside of the province if the provincial government does not recognize their freedom of conscience.

A good confession is humble, sincere and complete. It s humble when we accuse ourselves of our sins with a deep sorrow for having offended the Lord while imploring his loving mercy. It s sincere when we tell all of our sins honestly and truthfully, without exaggerating or excusing them. It s complete when we confess all of our mortal sins, including the number of times we have committed each one. What if I haven t gone to Confession in Many Years? Welcome home!
