Mike O'Phelan was late because he was trying to assist a patients who was nearing the end of their physical life. The main point that he outlined was 'Christ is always with us. He feels our pain when we are sick and when we suffer'. Mike reviewed the reasons why Death with Dignity is wrong;
dying a moral death with Christ's help is a part of our salvation. He reviewed Christ's statement to Apostle Thomas, 'Blessed are those who haven't seen me, but believe in me'.
