The Art of Living and Dying
In light of the legalization of medically assisted suicide and euthanasia (MAID) throughout the world, disciples of Jesus need to cultivate the virtues and attitudes that will allow them to embrace fully the life and death God has given. In the past, the Catholic tradition emphasized preparing for a good death in order to see the face of God. We need to rediscover that way of life. In this four part series, Father John Hibbard will share some spiritual and biblical reflections on living, illness, pain and dying in light of Jesus’s own experience of suffering and death. Saint Paul the Apostle Church, 1111 Taylor-Kidd Blvd, Kingston, ON. In the Parish Hall. Thursday evenings on Sept 19, 27, Oct 17 and 24 at 6:30 pm or Friday mornings, Sept 20, 28, Oct 18 and 25 at 10:45 am.
