The Victory in Our Bones
Sometimes we fail to take advantage of spiritual weapons that we already possess. It is to our spiritual advantage to use these and keep them sharp for ourselves as well as others.

Crucifixion
Jesus died in the most dreaded way in the ancient world, it was a death reserved for slaves and criminals. The routine of crucifixion was always the same. When the case had been heard and the criminal condemned, the judge uttered the fateful sentence: “You go to the cross.”

Suicide
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church we read "2282 If suicide is committed with the intention of setting an example, especially to the young, it also takes on the gravity of scandal. Voluntary co-operation in suicide is contrary to the moral law. Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide. 2283 We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. The Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives.
