Homily, 9am Sunday Mass, June 13, 2021

Fr. Simon's homily for the first week of our preaching series 'Author of Life'. Watch the full Mass here:    • 9am Sunday Mass, June 13, 2021   LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS: 1. Fr. Simon shares a story of his youth when their family made the difficult decision to put down one of their beloved dogs. Do you have a similar pet story to share? 2. Fr Simon shares that, “God has absolute dominion” and chose to share that with us. He adds, “We are stewards of life, NOT the owners”. What do you see as the difference between being stewards of life and being owners? 3. On March 21, 2021 the government of Canada announced that, with respect to euthenasia and assisted suicide, “Natural death does not have to be reasonably forseeable”. How do you feel about that decision? 4. “For all of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ...” 2 Corinthians 5:10. Do you believe this event will actually occur for all of us? What do you think the discussion may focus on with Jesus and you at that moment? 5. Have you had the experience of a loved one suffering prior to their death? Did that experience cause you to reflect differently on your position on euthenasia and assisted suicide?
