Abstract

As members of the Christian Community we have been called to bring the healing message of salvation and hope to one another. This ministry calls each of us to reach beyond ourselves and to touch our loved ones, our neighbors, those made vulnerable by the circumstances of their illness and to protect and defend human dignity, freedom and promote human flourishing. As Jesus did in his own time, each of us is called to help bring healing and wholeness to the sick and the dying in our world. How we can respond to our obligation to care for the sick and dying at the end-of-life, grounded in the principles of the Catholic moral tradition that govern our care and treatment decisions, is the focus of this paper.
