STOP ASSISTED SUICIDE IN CALIFORNIA

Stop Assisted Suicide in CA before it’s too late! Earlier this year, through a Special Session, the CA legislature passed assisted suicide, allowing doctors to prescribe overdose medication to terminally ill patients. Join a coalition of physi-cians, nurses, disability-rights organizations, and people of all faiths to stand for the lives of our elderly and dying and oppose assisted suicide! On the weekends of December 5/6, 12/13, and 19/20 petitions will be available for signature outside of Masses. Signers must be registered to vote in California and can only sign once.

Why Oppose Assisted Suicide? • Sends the Wrong Message: Legalizing sui-

cide for the terminally ill, while discouraging it for the rest of the population, teaches that the lives of the ill and disabled do not matter to our society.

• Will Worsen Patient Care: Patients in other states, like Barbara Wagner in Oregon, are being denied treatment prescribed by their doctors, and instead offered drugs for assist-ed suicide.

• Will Increase Non-Terminal Suicide Rates: Suicides skyrocket when assisted suicide is legalized. Oregon's suicide rate for non-terminal people increased 49% after assisted suicide became legal.

DETENGA EL SUICIDIO ASISTIDO EN CALIFORNIA

¡Detenga el suicidio asistido en California antes de que sea demasiado tarde! Este año, a través de una Sesión Especial, la legislatura de CA aprobó el suicidio asistido permitiendo que médicos prescriban sobredosis de medicamento a pacientes con enfermedades terminales. Hágase socio de una coalición de médicos, enfermeras, organizaciones para derechos de discapacitados, y personas de todas las religiones para apoyar la las vidas de nuestros ancianos y moribundos y ¡Opóngase al suicidio asistido! Los Fines de semana en Diciembre 5/6, 12/13 y 19/20, habrá peticiones disponibles para firmar en el vestíbulo de la Iglesia. Quienes firmen deben estar registrados para votar y solo se puede firmar una vez. Se necesitan Voluntarios.

¿Porque Oponerse al Suicidio Asistido? ► Manda el Mensaje Equivocado: Legalizar el

suicidio para personas con enfermedades terminales, mientras disuadimos al resto de la población, enseña que las vidas de los enfermos y discapacitados no importan en nuestra sociedad.

► Empeorara el Cuidado del Paciente: A pacientes en otros estados, como Barbara Wagner en Oregón, se les está negando tratamiento recetado por sus médicos, y en su lugar se les está ofreciendo medicinas para asistir el suicidio.

► Aumentará el Índice de Suicidios sin enfermedades terminales: Los suicidios suben cuando el suicidio asistido es legalizado. El índice de suicidios de Oregón para personas sin enfermedades terminales incremento un 49% después de que el suicidio asistido se legalizo.

FORGIVENESS

God forgives like a mother who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.

Why Jesus is Better Than Santa Claus!

Santa lives at the North Pole . . . JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh . . . JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year . . . JESUS is an ever-present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies . . . JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited . . . JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your Heart when invited.

You have to wait in line to see Santa . . . JESUS stands as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap . . . JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn’t know your name, all he can say is “Hi little boy or girl, what’s your name?” . . .

JESUS knew our names before we did.

Not only does He know our name, He knows our address, too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly . . . JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO . . . JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says, “You better not cry” . . . JESUS says “ Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.”

Santa’s little helpers make toys . . . JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and makes new mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but . . . JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree . . . JESUS became our gift and died on a tree.

We need to put Christ back into CHRISTmas . . . JESUS is still the reason for the season!
