October Znd EUCHA}?ISTIC ADORATION "The holy hour in our modern rdt race is necessaryfor authentic prayer. Our world is one of speed in which intensity of movement is a substitute for lack of purpose; where noise is invoked to drown out the whisperings'of conscience; where talkt talk, talk gives the impression that we are doing something when really we are not;where activity kills self-knowledge won by contemplation---"

Organ transplants from a dead person to a living person must fulfill two additional criteria: 1) The donor must give free and informed consent prior to death, or those who legitimately speak on the donor's behalf must do so at the time of death; and 2) the donor must be dead before the tissue can be harvested-in. other words, the donor must not be declared dead prematurely, nor may the donor's death be hastened just to use the organs.

tdds, "Organ donation after death is a noble and meritorious act and is to be encouraged as an expression of generous solidarity.
