LIFE, DEATH, AND CATHOLIC
MEDICAL QUESTIONS
Question: Must we always preserve life?
LENT
Lent begins March 5 with Mass and the
distribution of Ashes. This will be celebrated:
St. William-March 4, Tues., 6:30pm
St. Paul-March 5, Wed., 12 noon & 7:00pm
One of the most agonizing experiences that we
can have is to make a decision about whether to
continue medical treatment for ourselves or for a
family member. However, no preparation ever
equips us fully for weighty decisions about
preserving human life.
LENTEN PROGRAM:
“LIVING THE EUCHARIST”
We will meet at both St. Paul and St. William.
Dates for group meetings at St. Paul:
March 11, 18, 25, April 1 (Tuesdays)
April 7 (Monday)
The short answer to the question, “Must we
always preserve life?” is “no.”
Dates for group meetings at St. William:
March 12, 19, 26, April 2 (Wednesday)
April 14 (Monday)
(by Kevin O’Neil, CSsR & Peter Black, STD)
The Church offers clear moral guidance in this
area, always calling us to show respect for
persons and concern for their welfare. The
fundamental teaching is that human life is the
most basic gift that we receive, but it is a gift
given for higher goals, not as an end itself. We
recognize human life as a temporary good,
something that will pass, as we all must die.
We ought to live and respect human life in a
middle ground between clinging to life at all
costs, what is called vitalism, and disregarding
human life and disrespecting persons in the
process. This middle ground recognizes the gift
of life and encourages us to be good stewards of
life but acknowledges that we are not the masters
of our own lives. God alone is the giver of life.
Sometimes the most responsible decision judges
further medical treatment and aggressive care as
too much for us and for others. Church teaching
calls these medical measures extraordinary or
disproportionate. In other words, preserving life
at these times would work against the higher
goods for which we were created.
An ongoing question that we might ask ourselves
is how we are to live and preserve our lives so
that we give and receive love to and from God
and others. Sometimes that will urge us to
preserve life; other times it will move us to
let go.
We will begin at 6:30pm (after evening Mass).
To participate, please call the office so that we
have time to order the materials.
Cost: $10 per person.

may the martyrs come to welcome you.
Vida, Muerte, Y Preguntas Católicas, Medicas
Pregunta: ¿Habrá siempre preservar la vida?
Una de las experiencias más angustiosas que
podemos tener es que tomar una decisión sobre si
se debe continuar con el tratamiento médico para
nosotros mismos o para un miembro de la
familia. Sin embargo, hay una preparación cada
vez nos equipa completamente para las
decisiones de peso sobre la preservación de la
vida humana.
La respuesta corta a la pregunta: " ¿Debemos
siempre preservar la vida?" Es "no".
La Iglesia ofrece una guía moral clara en esta
área, siempre nos llama a mostrar respeto por las
personas y la preocupación por su bienestar. La
enseñanza fundamental es que la vida humana es
el don más básica que recibimos, sino que es un
don dado por metas más altas, no como un fin en
sí. Reconocemos la vida humana como un bien
temporal, algo que va a pasar, ya que todos
tenemos que morir.
Debemos vivir y respetar la vida humana en un
punto medio entre aferrarse a la vida a toda costa,
lo que se llama vitalismo, y sin tener en cuenta la
vida humana y la falta de respeto a las personas
en el proceso. Este punto medio reconoce el don
de la vida y nos anima a ser buenos
administradores de la vida, pero reconoce que no
somos los dueños de nuestras propias vidas. Sólo
Dios es el dador de la vida.
A veces los jueces de decisiones más
responsables tratamiento médico y cuidado
agresivo como demasiado para nosotros y para
los demás. Enseñanza de la Iglesia llama a estas
medidas médicas extraordinarias o
desproporcionadas. En otras palabras, la
preservación de la vida en esos momentos iba a
funcionar en contra de los bienes más altos para
los que fuimos creados.
Una pregunta constante que podríamos hacernos
es cómo hemos de vivir y preservar nuestras
vidas para que podamos dar y recibir amor y de
Dios y de los demás. A veces eso nos inste a
preservar la vida, otras veces nos mueva a
dejar ir.
