We all make choices every day. Some of those choices are made easily by those whose mind and body are functioning well  and live in a peaceful and non-threatening atmosphere. Those are the easy choices. Others, however, live in an environment where good judgment is lacking, violence surrounds them, judgment is blinded by fear, and  others are in despair. I am speaking here, now, of those who commit suicide, not those who kill from lack of respect for human life. A mother whose child was killed was asked if she could forgive the person who killed her child. She said that judging him was not her burden. That it was God's burden to bear. Someone chose to pull the trigger. They will be responsible for that before God.  But our job is to try to see as God sees, with Mercy rather than judgment. We enter into the mystery of being human. God is always there. We need to be there, too. Grace always opens a path to joy, love and forgiveness. A path to God.
