The commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the
D-day landings was important not only to remind us of the courage and sacrifice
of the previous generation in fighting the evils of Nazism but also to remind
us that contending with evil now falls to this generation. There is always
something that needs to be revealed, opposed and conquered.
There are dark clouds gathering over Europe once again; it
is the same atheistic spirit that moved the Nazi’s and the Communists to the
horrors they inflicted on humanity. And like them they conceal their works and
objectives with their own new language to rationalise and sanitise.
Now that people have gotten used to eliminating the unborn;
it’s natural for their eyes to fall upon the elderly, the infirm, those with
mental or physical disability and push society towards mercy killing or special treatment as the SS used to
call it.
Assisted suicide, a precursor of voluntary (and not so
voluntary) Euthanasia is already well established in Holland, Luxemburg and
Belgium. The laws were made loose to enable its extension or a liberal
interpretation of them and already from an initial position of being for those
in unbearable pain with no hope of recovery it is already found its way to the disabled
and even the depressed at the ‘end of life clinics.’ In Holland a
child of 12 can request Euthanasia.
We need to show that every life and every stage of it is
important, has its own dignity and purpose, regardless of appearances and each
human being has an immortal soul, a unique role in eternity.
It’s as important to keep this kind of legislation away from
our shores as it was to keep an invading foreign power away. This is our fight,
(or one of them) and as with all spiritual battle only prayer will decide the
outcome.
