End of Life 

In today’s society, the end of life is seen by many as a time of prolonged suffering that must be shortened as much as possible, without waiting for natural death to occur. Why suffer, if the physical and emotional suffering serves no purpose and has no meaning? For Christians, on the contrary, the end of life—including the associated suffering—is considered a privileged time during which God wants to fill us with his love.

here is the thirteenth pastoral letter of the Archbishop of Montreal,
Most Reverend Christian LĂ©pine.
