LIFE, DEATH, AND CATHOLIC MEDICAL QUESTIONS (by Kevin O’Neil, CSsR & Peter Black, STD) Question: Is there a right to healthcare, and what kind of obligation do I have as a Catholic to use my resources to help with the purchase of medicine for my brother? His insurance won’t cover the costs, and he’s on a fixed income. I’m feeling guilty. For a variety of reasons and for centuries, the Church avoided using human right language. It altered this course, however, in 1963 with Blessed Pope John XXIII’s encyclical letter, Peace on Earth. He said that people have a right to live and a right to the “means necessary for the proper development of life” (#11). This text serves as a foundation for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ speaking of a right to “basic” and “adequate healthcare” in their Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services. What is not clear in Church teaching is who has the duty to ensure that people enjoy this right. In some cases the state has taken this responsibility, but this need not be the case. The condition of millions of our brothers and sisters in Christ whom we’ve never met, however, urges us to action on their behalf. Regarding the particular case of one’s brother, does he have a right to the medicine and do we have a duty to provide funds for it? This question is difficult to answer because of the need for more information. What is the brother’s prognosis? Is he taking care of himself responsibly? Does he have an ordinary or an extraordinary obligation to take this medicine? What do you feel capable of doing morally without placing yourself and others in your care at risk? Not knowing the responses to these questions, we would find it difficult to say “yes” or “no.” Whatever one’s ability to respond in this case, one’s relationship with one’s brother should be marked by compassion and a sincere desire and will to help in whatever way is morally reasonable. WELCOME & THANKS TO OUR VISITING PRIESTS We welcome and thank the priests who are generously giving their time to celebrate Masses this weekend during Fr. Nick’s recovery. Thank you, Fr. Scott Winchell, St. Theresa Church, Cordele, (who will be at St. William), and thank you, Fr. Ray Levreault, St. John the Evangelist, Valdosta (joining us at St. Paul). “LIVING THE EUCHARIST” (LENTEN STUDY SERIES) The focus of our reflection and weekly meeting is both the following weekend’s readings and the rites of the Sunday Mass.

EUCHARISTIC CUP Until “cold and flu season” has passed, we will not have the cup during the Holy Eucharist. MASS SCHEDULE FOR HOLY FAMILY 8:00am Sunday Mass will resume at Holy Family on Sunday, Feb. 16. The Sunday Mass times for St. Paul Church: 9:30am (English) & 11:45am (Spanish). WISE WORDS: “Live calmly and do not worry excessively, because in order to work more freely within us, the Holy Spirit needs tranquility and calm. And for you, every anxious thought is a mistake, as you have no reason to fear. It is the Lord who works within you, and you must do nothing except leave the door of your heart open wide so that He might work as He pleases.” --Saint Padre Pio Vida, Muerte, Y Preguntas Católica, Medicas (por Kevin O'Neil, CSsR & Peter Black, STD) Pregunta: ¿Existe un derecho a la salud, y qué tipo de obligación tengo como un católico a usar mis recursos para ayudar con la compra de medicinas para mi hermano? Su seguro no cubre los costos, y él está en una renta fija. Me siento culpable. Por una variedad de razones, y durante siglos, la Iglesia evitó usar el lenguaje humano. Se alteró el curso, sin embargo, en el año 1963 con la carta encíclica del beato Papa Juan XXIII, paz en la tierra. Dijo que las personas tienen derecho a vivir el derecho de los "medios necesarios para el desarrollo adecuado de la vida» (n º 11) . Este texto sirve de base para la Conferencia Estadounidense de Obispos Católicos de habla de un derecho a lo " basico" y " cuidado de la salud en sus Directivas Éticas y Religiosas para los Servicios Católicos de Asistencia Médica . Lo que no queda claro en la enseñanza de la Iglesia es quien tiene el deber de asegurar que la gente disfrute de este derecho. En algunos casos, el Estado ha asumido esta responsabilidad, pero esto no tiene que ser el caso. La condición de millones de nuestros hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, a quien nunca he conocido, sin embargo, nos impulsa a la acción en su nombre. En cuanto al caso particular del hermano de uno, ¿tiene derecho a la medicina y qué tenemos el deber de proporcionar los fondos para ello? Esta pregunta es difícil de responder, debido a la necesidad de más información. ¿Cuál es el pronóstico del hermano? ¿Está tomando el cuidado de sí mismo de manera responsable? ¿Tiene ordinaria o extraordinaria obligación de tomar este medicamento? ¿Qué sientes capaz de hacer moralmente sin colocar a sí mismo ya los demás en su atención en el riesgo? Sin saber las respuestas a estas preguntas, nos resultaría difícil de decir "sí" o "no." Cualquiera que sea la propia capacidad para responder en este caso, la relación con un hermano debe estar marcada por la compasión y un sincero deseo y la voluntad de ayudar a en la forma que es moralmente razonable. BIENVENIDA Y GRACIAS A NUESTROS SACERDOTES VISITANTES Le damos una cálida bienvenida y agradecimiento a los sacerdotes que están dando generosamente su tiempo para celebrar las misas de estos fines de semana durante la recuperacion del Padre Nick: bienvenida y gracias a Fr.
