Respect Life Graphics: Samaritanus Bonus

Beautiful, downloadable graphics convey the message of Samaritanus bonus.

In 2020, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith released the letter Samaritanus bonus, “on the care of persons in the critical and terminal phases of life.” The letter reaffirms the Church’s teaching on care for those who are critically ill or dying and offers additional pastoral guidance for increasingly complex situations at the end of life.

A compendium, study guide, and related resources are available at https://www.usccb.org/prolife/catholic-care-sick-and-dying.
