~~Reflection on Death - Found in a Carmelite Monastery in Waterford, Ireland. ~~~~~

"Death is nothing at all....I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my own familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant; it is the same as it ever was. This is, absolutely, unbroken continuity.

Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner, All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before,--only better, infinitely happier, and forever we will all be one together in Christ."

Father Jim and Family, My heart and my prayers go out to you during this difficult time of loss. Fr. Jim, when I lost my Dad, you always gently reminded me that he was free of pain, in the arms of Jesus, and that I would see him again. May the gentle words you shared with me, give you the same comfort, peace, and love they gave to me. May God Bless You Always.
