Resisting Promethean medical temptations

Superheroes attract us. From Greek gods to Superman and Spiderman, our fascination with the awesome deeds of superheroes beckons us to become Masters of our own destiny.

Yet even as we enjoy the fantasy of acquiring Promethean powers to combat our enemies and conquer evil, we have legitimate misgivings about mere mortals taking on god-like powers in real life. We are concerned about those who play with fire just like Prometheus did, at the risk of harm and great destruction.

During November, we celebrate the feasts of All Saints, All Souls, and Christ the King.

Church years often end near the end of November, when we also begin Advent. During Advent, we prayerfully, patiently await Christ’s birth.
