Willing the good of the other

Glory to Jesus Christ, Glory Forever!

2016 was a historic year for our country, and perhaps more broadly the world, as Canada joined a handful of other jurisdictions to open the pandoras box of euthanasia to its citizens. In that year 1018 Canadians were successfully euthanized, a short six years later in 2022 and that number has since climbed to just under 45,000. Nearly 5 percent of deaths in BC and Quebec are now attributed to euthanasia, so called Medical Assistance in Dying or MAiD, and these numbers continue to climb in every province each year. Unlike the introduction of legal abortions in Canada, the inauguration of euthanasia has been met mostly unchallenged. More waves are made by McDonalds when it reintroduces its McRib sandwich every few years. 

Why is that? Why do we lounge indolently towards this revolutionary upheaval in human existence? Compassion being equated with taking life? If you don’t hear how antithetical this is to Christ and His Gospel, I’m afraid you may very well be descending into the very same contorted and twisted life of Zacchaeus prior to the profound moment of his repentance before Christ.
