Host: Johnnette Benkovic
Guests: Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, S.T.L. and Bobby Schindler

Is there a movement lurking out there to shorten and limit our lives? You’ve heard of the right to life but as host Johnnette Benkovic says, it’s more like “the right to live!” On this special simulcast of Women of Grace, Johnnette brings on guests Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, S.T.L. and Bobby Schindler of the Terry Schiavo Life and Hope Network to talk about the real issues and the real answers about life at the end. Our show today goes in deep to show how far our culture has drifted from true love within the family, especially when a loved one most needs spiritual and physical care in a pressing end-of-life scenario. Fr. Kirby warns us about the slippery slope in the phrase: “I want to die with dignity.”

Listen to this in-depth teaching about the dignity of the human person not depending on what that person can do—but rather on the fact that they are a human person and nobody can take away that dignity. In a touching moment after hearing Bobby’s recount of his sister Terry’s death and holding back tears, Johnnette suggests to Bobby his sister Terry suffered so he could be a spokesman for life.

Some of our listeners and viewers call in to ask about end-of-life issues, like Heidi asking about a living will. This is something you should prepare sooner than later. Be aware of what medical terminology really means to you when you may not be able to defend yourself any more. Here we love your life. Here, we empower you. Women of Grace, from EWTN Radio.
