death or life?

Jun 30, 2012

I read once that humans have only one fear: the fear of death. Every fear, anxiety, worry etc, is a face of this one fear; the fear of death.

In my blog reflection yesterday I quoted from this Sunday’s gospel reading in which Jesus says: “do not be afraid; just have faith.

And then I found this helpful little video clip. You might find it encouraging as well.

If you are ready for a broader faith perspective you might appreciate this offering – something a little different

In every encounter, local and afar, with people of every age and at every stage of life, the struggles and joys of people are remarkably similar.

Humans too often make the fatal mistake of separating body and soul, yet our deep desire is for unity of body and soul.

Both readings are personal favourites and every time I hear them and ponder them these texts speak to me in new and powerful ways.

Too often we settle for an existence of lurching from one satisfaction to the next.
