Happy Easter!! This trying Lent is over, and the joy of the Easter season is upon us! Thanks be to God!
How comforting it is to know that even after all of our “Lents” there will always be an Easter! In these days, there is so much hope and joy to be had, and it’s so great to be able to truly revel in it.
Yesterday, an acquaintance/friend of mine asked me about how I think the world is going to end.
As a Catholic, I don’t think about this topic much, if at all. This young man is not Catholic, and he was raised in the Lutheran Church. However, now he considers himself non-denominational. He did go to the Catholic Mass on campus pretty much every week, so that was good to see (although he received the Holy Eucharist, even after we discussed why he cannot), and he has asserted that he is not against the Catholic Church, and this fact should be well remembered as you go through this musing. There are many things I can say on that matter, but for today, I want to write about the specific topic of an impending doom that many, like my compatriot, sense.
The fact of life is that at one point everyone will die. Perhaps an overly talked about subject, death is imminent. Death is not scary, at least to me, and at least to others who have come to terms with the idea of impending finality. Death, although not to be feared, should not be sought out. Death is just the beginning of a new adventure.
