Death

Contemplating death in the proper way can help us live our lives better.  It focuses us on what is truly important, eternal life, where there is no more pain and suffering.

Recently Pope Francis had this to say:

 
POPE FRANCIS 
“As the sun starts to set today, each one of us can think of the sunset of our own lives... how will my sunset be? Mine, yours, yours, and yours, and even yours; All of us will pass away one day! Do I look at this with hope, with the joy of being received by the Lord? This is a Christian thought, that brings peace to us.” 

Before the end of the ceremony, the Pope said a prayer for the dead and in a special gesture, he also included all of the immigrants who pass away tragically in their search for a better life.
