“But now we must celebrate and rejoice…”

The Fourth Sunday of Lent is traditionally known as ‘Laetare (Rejoice) Sunday’. The mood of the Season lightens, ahead of the coming Paschal Feast. St. Paul urges us to “be reconciled to God”, while Jesus’ Parable of the Forgiving Father describes God’s eagerness to welcome home any who stray. Consoling as that image is, it does not suggest that God condones sin or wants us to persist in it. The point of the parable is that God is generous in forgiving, not that ‘it doesn’t matter’ what we do.

In another tilt toward a ‘culture of death’ masquerading as social progress, the State Legislature approved the Act entitled “Medical Aid in Dying for the Terminally Ill”, with the Governor saying “I look forward to signing this legislation into law” (!). No one doubts the anguish experienced by the terminally ill, often in conditions of great pain and impairment, or the distress on the part of family members and caregivers, but the idea that offering patients ‘medical aid’ to terminate their lives is ‘com-passionate’ reveals a serious misunderstanding of that word. Use of pain medication and burdensome life-sustaining equip-ment may be unpleasant and difficult for patients, but true compassion for their plight should arouse sensitive and caring accompaniment of them in their struggle, based on respect for the sacred dignity of each person’s life. Sadly, even with so-called ‘protections’ to ‘prevent abuse’ by doctors, caregivers and family members who might ‘encourage’ patients to choose to end their lives rather than ‘impose’ on others for continued care, the Act moves society toward tolerance of a ‘throw-away mentality’ that is so pervasive. Can’t we do better than to take an active role in helping an ill person to terminate his/her life? As Catholics we do not accept that one has a ‘right’ to end one’s life, which is a gift from God: ‘death with dignity’, which should be everyone’s right, must not become a euphemism denying the roots of that ‘dignity’—the truth that each person is a child of God, deserving, for that reason alone, attentive care that looks to help one respect the gift of life for which he/she is accountable. The Church teaches that one is not obliged to use ‘extraordinary means’ to preserve life when it draws naturally to its close, but insists that no one is entitled to take measures actively to hasten one’s own death or another’s. New Jersey law may permit “Medical Aid in Dying for the Terminally Ill”, but that doesn’t make it right or moral. Yes, circumstances at the end of life are difficult for many, but as Catholics we believe we are called to observe a higher law than that of the State, when confronted with a terminal diagnosis for oneself or a loved one. I commend our own State Senate and Assembly members for voting against the Act, despite heavy emotional persuasion and some, we can assume, from financially-interested parties.

We rejoice that Jesus has taken on Himself the weight of all our sin: in Him we find the ultimate proof that God loves us.

Msgr. Tim Shugrue

Fourth Sunday of Lent Page Three

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK “No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that year ate of the yield of the land of Canaan.” (Joshua 5:12) Over the forty years that the Israelites journeyed through the desert, God provided them with manna to eat. As soon as they were able to

enjoy the fruits of the Promised Land the manna ceased. Likewise, God’s blessings to us may change over the years but it is important to trust that God will always provide us with all that we need. MEMORIAL DONATIONS

We are accepting Memorial Donations for flowers for the Altar area, the Candles, Bread & Wine used for the Liturgies, and the weekly Sanctuary Candle. These items may be donated in memory of someone or to mark a special occasion. A donation of $10 is suggested for the

candles, bread & wine and sanctuary candle, and a donation of $40 is suggested for the weekly flowers. (MEMORIAL CARDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THESE DONATIONS.) ALSO, as we face the need to replace various items for liturgical use, we are happy to arrange for memorials of deceased loved ones. Call the Parish Office.
