1 in 10 deaths in Canada are due to assisted suicide, Health Canada reports

Euthanasia made up more than 1 in 10 deaths in several regions of Canada last year, even as the national growth rate slowed, according to government data released in late 2025 and early 2026. The pattern emerged in a country where a slim majority of residents still identify as Christian in the last full census, though that share had fallen for decades and later surveys suggested it had slipped further.

DAILY GOSPEL

All Saints

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5,1-12a.

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. "
