The Jarrow Scriptorium: Christian Concern-Action Alert: Help secure opposition to child euthanasia in the Council of Europe:

7 February 2014

Christian Concern-Action Alert: Help secure opposition to child euthanasia in the Council of Europe:

Dear Supporters,
In a key demonstration of cross-continent alarm at Belgium's move to permit the euthanasia of children, parliamentarians from across Europe have laid down a motion at the Council of Europe - which is best known for its focus on human rights - opposing the change in the country's law.
The motion, written declaration no. 567, is entitled 'Legalisation of euthanasia for children in Belgium'.
We fully endorse the parliamentarians' view that the move "betrays some of the most vulnerable children in Belgium by accepting that their lives may no longer have any inherent value or worth and that they should die... [and] promotes the unacceptable belief that a life can be unworthy of life which challenges the very basis of civilised society."
36 British MPs and Peers are members of the assembly, and we ask you to write to these - especially if you are a constituent or party member - to:

thank those who have already signed the declaration, and urge them to give the issue greater visibility in the UK; and to
ask non-signatories to sign as soon as possible, explaining why this latest alarming development in the already woeful situation surrounding Belgium's euthanasia laws is a matter of grave concern for all of Europe.

Please write now by using the e-mail addresses listed beneath (for more information on the proposed changes see: here, here, here and here).

Please also sign the petition by CitizenGo calling on politicians to abandon the proposals and to work on new Belgian laws that are in favour of life and long term care for vulnerable people.

Thank you. The seven current signatories are:

"At three o'clock, implore My Mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in my abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great Mercy for the whole World. I will allow you to enter into my mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of me in virtue of My Passion." - The Promise of Our Lord to St. Faustina.“You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelope the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us."

JESUS I TRUST IN YOU!

A Prayer For Our Bishop:
O almighty and eternal God, by whose judgment all things are established: mercifully regard our prayers, and in Thy goodness preserve the Bishop (Seamus Cunningham) chosen for us: that the Christian people, who are governed by Thy authority, may under so great a pontiff increase in the merits of their faith. Through our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer For Our Priests:
Jesus, Eternal Priest, keep Thy priests within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart, where none may touch them. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Thy Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with Thy Precious Blood. Keep pure and unworldly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. Let Thy holy love surround them from the world's contagion. Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation here and their everlasting crown hereafter.Amen

It is sometimes claimed that dissent from the Magisterium is totally compatible with being a "good Catholic" and poses no obstacle to the reception of the sacraments. This is a grave error" Blessed John Paul II speech to U.S Bishops in Los Angles CA, September 16th September 1987.

"When Mass is being celebrated, the Sanctuary is filled with countless Angels who adore the Divine Victim immolated on the altar." St John Chrysostom

VATICAN 11: Pope John XXIII himself stated in his Opening Address at the beginning of Vatican II”that the Council was not intended to be a doctrinal council concerned with defining any articles of Faith; rather it was to be a “pastoral” council that was concerned with representing the Catholic Faith in a manner acceptable to the modern world”

SAINTS OF GOD COME TO OUR AID:

Angele Dei,
qui custos es mei,
me, tibi commissum pietate superna,
illumina, custodi,
rege et gubérna.
Amen.

Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
to whom God’s love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side,
to light and guard, to rule and guide.Amen.

Make your name again glorious in this place, once renowned throughout our land by your visits, favours and many miracles. Pray, O Holy Mother of God, for the conversion of England, restoration of the sick, consolation for the afflicted, repentance of sinners, peace to the departed. O Blessed Mary, Mother of God, Our Lady of Walsingham, intercede for us. Amen.
