Today, Friday November 29, the UK parliament will vote on legalizing assisted dying.
Americans are busy bargain-hunting, but please: hear Mass, offer an extra rosary, or make a holy hour and pray that this bill does NOT pass.
We’ve already seen the death and destruction that legalized euthanasia has brought to other countries, especially Canada where it is now one of the leading causes of death.
You do realize this is just a way to deny care to the sick, the disabled, and the elderly, right? This is not about “freedom” nor is it truly compassionate.
This evil must be defeated and as Catholics we must try everything in our power to advance the social kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Folks, please pray for this intention. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, stop right now and pray.

*update*: At 9:30 am eastern time, the UK parliament voted on and approved the assisted dying bill. England will now suffer the same fate as so many other nations, and the sick, disabled, and elderly will be denied care in favor of a perceived duty to die.
Let us pray in reparation.
