Summary of Passages taken from “The Ordo”: “In response to an attempt to ridicule his teaching about life after death, Jesus again proclaims a resurrection from the dead (Luke), that life is indeed stronger than death itself (2 Maccabees). This is our eternal consolation and hope (2 Thessalonians). Then will our joy be truly fulfilled (Psalm 17).

Today’s Scriptures affirm that this life is not the end. Through grace we have “eternal comfort and good hope,” and when we pass through death into everlasting life we will be “equal to angels.” Ministering in charity to the sick or to the dying reflects our belief that the “God of the living,” provides hope and comfort. To better understand the Catholic perspective on suffering and death, and our practice of ministering to the dying, read a theologically based vision of care from www.chausa.org/publications/health-progress/article/june-1993/care-of-the-dying-a-catholic-perspective. If you are experiencing the pain of a loss, pray this week with a photo of your loved one, remembering the special qualities of the person and the joy and happiness shared. Thank God for all these blessings. Tell God of your sadness and sorrow and ask God to enter into the pain you are feeling over this loss. Or pray with the hopeful hymn “On Eagles’s Wings,” by J. Michael Joncas, based on Psalm 91: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXP-FsNUWOc.
