Nobody Wants to Talk About This

We’re sitting down to talk about death. Nobody like talking about it, but we’ve all got to face it eventually. This is such a beautiful conversation, and we touch on things like how to live our lives as Catholics without a fear or anxiety of death, what a priest actually does when he administers Viaticum (also known as “last rites”), and how to memorialize the dead in our everyday lives to remember those who have gone before us.
I will admit, this is a tough topic to talk about for some, but when we approach death as the holy experience that it is, that fear is replaced with the grace and loving mercy of the Lord!

My son Paul. Lost him in auto accident at 34 last year. He passed at hospital before we could get there but priest came and we prayed over him. I was in the middle of chemo for breast cancer. It was crushing and bitter time for our family. Hung on to the Divine Mercy during that time and do still now. I pray the Chaplet every night for those who will die in the next 24 hours, most especially those who are not prepared to die, like my son. Jesus is our only hope.
