Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, who waived his appeals process in January, will be executed as scheduled by lethal injection shortly after 7 a.m. on May 16 at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute. McVeigh, 33, will be the first fed- eral prisoner exe- cuted by the U.S. government since 1963. On April 27, President George W. Bush rejected Timothy McVeigh requests from Pope John Paul II and Indianapolis Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein to commute McVeigh’s death sentence to life impris- onment. White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said April 27 that “a clemency decision is not before the president.” Above: Investigators Commenting on the papal request to Indianapolis church sort through the spare McVeigh’s life, Buchan said, “The charred remains of the president has great respect for the pope, damage estimated at altar at Sacred Heart and this is a tragic situation.” of Jesus Church in Buchan also said the president has $1million, main altar Indianapolis.The expressed compassion “for the 168 victims high altar, built in of the Oklahoma City bombing and their and art destroyed the 1800s, was families.” completely destroyed.

For Coles, as for many others, living a good life is not to be equated with “the good life” understood as having plenty of money, possessions and pleasurable expe- riences. We might say that Coles’ query is a contemporary version of the question posed by the rich young man in the New Testament. In all three versions of the story, the evangelists Matthew, Mark and Luke say that the rich young man approached Jesus with the question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” question, the pope suggests, since “to ask relationship, to enter into communion nor takes offense, it delights in truth and In his 1993 encyclical on the moral about the good, in fact, ultimately means with Jesus. is ready to excuse, trust, hope and life, The Splendor of Truth (Veritatis to turn toward God, the fullness of good- And at this the young man walked endure.” Splendor), Pope John Paul II meditates on ness” (No. 9). away, for he had many possessions.
