In a Pastoral Letter read throughout the Diocese on the feast of the Holy Family, Bishop Arthur spoke about the issues surrounding assisted suicide which had been the subject of a recent TV documentary and much press coverage. The Bishop recalled how Christ came to bring light to those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death (Song of Zechariah in St. Luke's Gospel) and lamented the dark and fatalistic view of those who promote assisted suicide.
The Bishop spoke of his sadness and compassion for those who do not realise the value of their life in the sight of God and put forward the example of St. Therese of Lisieux who suffered terribly before her own early death at the age of 24.
