Death is Death and then the Judgment

I wasn’t going to write a post for my blog this morning, but I read something that really bothered me.  I am not sure I have written a post in my blog about what I am about to say, but the fact is that I am deeply troubled by a trend I am seeing both politically and medically.  There are a few states in the US that have approved doctor assisted suicide for the terminally ill.  I wasn’t sure that I wanted to title this post, but the fact is, I am totally against suicide in ANY form for ANY reason, just as I am against the taking of ANY Human Life for ANY reason.  Don’t get me wrong.  I understand the arguments for assisted suicide very well.

I am not against giving patients pain medication to ease the pain and suffering of dying.  This doesn’t bother me as long as the pain medication doesn’t lead to death itself.  I hate to sound like I am stuck somewhere in the Middle Ages, but the fact is, that in every sense of the word, God intended for death to be natural.  I don’t care whether the world adopts laws that allow for assisted suicide.  But I claim to write and speak for my Angels.  I can state very succinctly as to why I am against assisted suicide.  If the end of life medication is taken voluntarily by a patient, then in fact, the end of life is suicide and it is my firm belief that God will judge accordingly.  If indeed the medication is administered by a healthcare professional, then in fact, the assisted suicide is murder.  This is one of those grey areas that society allows, but it is my firm opinion that God will judge otherwise.  Society just might allow for suicidal drugs to be self administered by a dying patient, or they can be administered by a healthcare professional.  Depending on how the drugs are administered, death occurs either by an act of suicide, or is a murderous act.  I would suggest then that my Angels would say to me that either way, God will NOT forgive those who act according to laws in this case.

Death is final and there is nothing anyone can do to bring the dead back to life.  Everyone has only ONE birth and ONE death and how we choose to end our lives isn’t up to us, but ultimately our deaths are totally up to God in HIS good timing.  Peace.  I am Brother Ralphie writing for my Angels from The Angels of Life Institute.
