WHAT’S HAPPENING IN OUR PARISH
'Hear the Word of God and Do It' Living in the Word ̶ ̶ It is important to create opportunities
for fellow disciples to gather and reflect deeply upon the Word
of God. In this way we not only support one another as we
grow in our relationship with Jesus, but also encourage one
another to embrace the common mission that is ours in virtue of
our Baptism into his Church. What . . . opportunities might we
fashion? I ask our parishes, ecclesial movements, and Catholic
institutions to consider this question carefully and offer ways in
which God's sacred Word can be commonly heard and em-
braced. Archbishop Smith, Pastoral Letter, Sept. 14, 2017)
Grace this Week A way to experience Scripture with every meal... Grace with lines inspired by the Readings for January 26.
Leader: Lord Jesus, we thank you for your Word. You proclaimed
the gospel of the kingdom and cured every kind of disease and
sickness. (Matthew 4:23)

Pastoral Letter from the Catholic Bishops of Alberta
and the Northwest Territories
As the Canadian government prepares to expand access
to euthanasia, the Catholic Bishops of Alberta have
written a Pastoral Letter to the faithful on this subject.
In Remaining True To Christ Now and at the Hour of
our Death, they offer a thoughtful reflection on
Catholic teaching regarding respect for life and our
responsibility to remain faithful to God’s will. All of us
will need support at the time of our dying, they write,
but assistance to hasten our death, the willful
termination of a human life, is a very different matter.
The letter offers words of encouragement on preparing
for a holy death, and also calls on Catholics to contact
their MPs to oppose any expansion of the current law
and advocate instead for more access to palliative care.
