requiem

Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. looking at this in the quiet of the chapel as we keep time with the family of the dead, it occurs to me, as it never has before, that this is more than a statement of our faith. it is, in an inexpressibly comforting way, the statement of victory and a harbinger of good things, the oil of joy for the ashes of sorrow. Christ has died and is risen. our loved ones die and will rise again. thank God for the Son.
