GOD'S COMMANDMENTS THE MORAL LIFE AND BEGINNING OF ANN END OF LIFE CONCERNS FOR CATHOLIC-CHRISTIANS..............

As we continue the Sacred Heart R.C.I.A. Teachings sessions on the Ten  Commandments and Living of the Moral Life as Catholic-Christians, we had a guest presenter last week speaking on the 5th Commandment, "You Shall Not Kill".  Parishioner, Dr. Steven McCurdy, M.D., led a presentation and discussion on the topic and the Church's teaching on how we observe the 5th Commandment particularly in regards to the dignity and respect we are to show to the Beginning of Life, and why we oppose Abortion.  This week Msgr. Walton gives a presentation on the 6th and 9th Commandments, "You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbor's Wife", (or Husband); and "You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbor's Goods".  These 2 Commandments teach us the moral and righteous virtue of avoiding selfishness and undue/illicit desire for what is not ours.  Then Rita Spillane will introduce a PBS "Frontline" Production on End of Life Experiences and Decisions faced by both terminal patients and their families and proxies, and we will discuss how we approach those experiences as Christian Disciples.  All of these vital concerns to the Faith Journey we are called to embrace and share..............Father Troy David
