We (Western Civilization) used to be less reluctant to confront our mortality. Perhaps it was because life — in the words of Hobbes — was poor, nasty, brutish and short. Advances in sanitation, medicine, agriculture and transportation have reduced the prospect of premature death, but we remain mortals nonetheless. Many years ago, I visited the Capuchin Crypt in Rome…for those who have not, it is adorned with works made from the bones of deceased Capuchin Monks. I will never forget the small plaque that contained the following words: “What you are now, we once were. What we are now, you shall be.”
This is a wonderful website and I have shared it with others. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic. One of the first articles I have read that paints death as something which helps us live a better life. God bless, I love your site!
You left out the best part, if we try to live a Holy life, we will be with God. I don’t know what that means concretely, but I know that all that is good and beautiful comes fromHim.
This is fantastic. Beautifully presented. Thank you and God bless you.
This is my favorite post yet! Thank you for writing! I read these every morning, and will start telling people to follow this!
