The Christian Response to Grief
Grief is a human emotion that affects all of us at different times throughout our lives, but sometimes it can feel overwhelming. The Catholic Church, in all her wisdom, offers us this beautiful prayer in the rite of Christian burial: "Indeed for your faithful, Lord, life is changed not ended, and when this earthly dwelling turns to dust, an eternal dwelling is made ready for them in heaven." Fr. Mike extends hope and encouragement to anyone grieving today. He explains that our grief as Christians should look different in the light of Christ's promise of eternal life.
