who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that

person; but if not, it will return to you.

FACING THE THREAT

OF

PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED

SUICIDE

As our country faces the

moral and social threat of

physician-assisted suicide,

you are invited to call upon

federal, provincial and

territorial legislators to

defend and protect the lives

of all, to renew efforts to

guarantee accessible home

care and palliative care,

and to protect the conscience

rights of healthcare providers

and agencies refusing to be

part of euthanasia and

assisted suicide. To share

your concerns with your

legislators, visit: www.canadiansforconscience.ca

JUBILEE AUDIENCE POPE FRANCIS June 30 , 2016

Dear Brothers and Sisters: During this Holy Year

of Mercy, we have not only considered the gift of

God’s mercy in itself, but also the works of mercy which we are called to practice as part of the Christian life. To

paraphrase Saint James, we can say that mercy without works is

dead. To be merciful like God our Father demands constant

sensitivity to the needs, material and spiritual, of those around us.

Jesus himself tells us in no uncertain terms that we will be judged by

the mercy we show to the poor: those who hunger and thirst, the

naked, the stranger, the sick and those in prison (cf. Mt 25:35-36).

Particularly in our prosperous societies, Christians are called to

guard against the temptation of indifference to the plea of so many

of our brothers and sisters. In our rapidly changing and increasingly

globalized world, many new forms of poverty are appearing. In response to them, may we prove creative in developing new and

practical forms of charitable outreach as an expression of the way of

mercy.

Rosary Prayer Group

We continue our evening prayer and

rosary recital program. This week on

Wednesday July 6th we gather at

6.30PM, at 204 Harriet Street, Welland. Stephen Martin will be our host family.

Car pool from the church at 6.15PM. Please join.

Life in man is the glory of God; the life of man

is the vision of God

The glory of God gives life; those who see God receive life. For this reason

God, who cannot be grasped, comprehended or seen, allows himself to be

seen, comprehended and grasped by men, that he may give life to those

who see and receive him. It is impossible to live without life, and the

actualisation of life comes from participation in God, while participation in

God is to see God and enjoy his goodness.

Men will therefore see God if they are to live; through the vision of God

they will become immortal and attain to God himself. As I have said, this

was shown in symbols by the prophets: God will be seen by men who bear

his Spirit and are always waiting for his coming. As Moses said in the

Book of Deuteronomy: On that day we shall see, for God will speak to

man, and man will live.

God is the source of all activity throughout creation. He cannot be seen

or described in his own nature and in all his greatness by any of his

creatures. Yet he is certainly not unknown. Through his Word the whole

creation learns that there is one God the Father, who holds all things

together and gives them their being. As it is written in the Gospel: No man

has ever seen God, except the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of

the Father; he has revealed him.

From the beginning the Son is the one who teaches us about the Father;

he is with the Father from the beginning. He was to reveal to the human

race visions of prophecy, the diversity of spiritual gifts, his own ways of

ministry, the glorification of the Father, all in due order and harmony, at

the appointed time and for our instruction: where there is order, there is

also harmony; where there is harmony, there is also correct timing; where

there is correct timing, there is also advantage.

The Word became the steward of the Father’s grace for the advantage of

men, for whose benefit he made such wonderful arrangements. He

revealed God to men and presented men to God. He safeguarded the

invisibility of the Father to prevent man from treating God with contempt

and to set before him a constant goal toward which to make progress. On

the other hand, he revealed God to men and made him visible in many

ways to prevent man from being totally separated from God and so cease

to be. Life in man is the glory of God; the life of man is the vision of God.

If the revelation of God through creation gives life to all who live upon the

earth, much more does the manifestation of the Father through the Word

give life to those who see God.
