"The Sacred Heart [is] a 'refuge' in which to recover, the seat of mercy . . . . " - Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, 169 (appeared in the June 2016 Magnificat).

statement called an "Estate Planning Document"; which includes, in part, my end-of-life instructions. The Legal Firm was recommended by the Archdiocese so naturally, the 'Do not resuscitate' request is consistent with the Catholic perspective. Of course I would'nt have wanted it any other way. The Estate Planning Document also ensured that if in the final
two decades of my life I happened to receive the Grace of Publishing, my decendants;and my Christian Advisors would benefit.
But this is simply one aspect of transitioning from this life to another. Other aspects of 'crossing over' or 'passing on'as I always call it, cannot be purchased by showing up for a meeting with a check for $350.00. Particularly in the area of the 'proliferation of sin'. This is one aspect that I need to spend much of my deliberative effort over the last two decades of my
earthly existence. In the unlikely event that I should happen to live a few years beyont this, I'll prefer to spend my days either in voiceless contemplation or nourishing myself with the Body and Blood of my brother-in-Christ ---The Christ Himself!
To achieve this end in mind,I'll be reading appropriate literature sanctioned by our beloved Church; and seeking guidance from astitute and virtuous men who have an acute understanding of how the Creator designed the road map to get us back to heaven....To be continued!
