Homily for October 2, 2011: 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time | The Deacon’s Bench

Homily for October 2, 2011: 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time | The Deacon’s Bench.

The pharmer’s Uncle found the Oct 2 homily from Deacon Greg Kandra,  and forwarded it.  It’s good input for pro-life month.

Deacon Greg Kandra tells us to thank Steve Jobs’ MAMA ,  who chose life for her unplanned kid and put him up for adoption.   She’s responsible for allowing us to have all those goodies from the Apple Corporation.

That sermon  provided impetus for another pounding on Pharmer’s favorite nail:

It highlighted one  reason, among many, to avoid usurping the life and death business from the ‘CEO of the universes’.

This pharmer is obsessed with another reason: that the advancement of humanity is fueled by the need to address human suffering and need.  

The short sighted get the idea that human suffering should be addressed by removing those who suffer or have special health needs.

Besides the immediate wrong of killing them, comes the Devolution of civilization.  Our impetus to create and invent to address human suffering and need is squashed, because those people are gone.

Some people have an indirect life mission to increase the humanity of everyone.  They are as valuable as Steve Jobs.

While you’re wandering Deacon Kandra’s blog, he has another cool sermon for this weekend, Oct 9.
