For Those We Love But See No More...

 All Souls Day, 2013


 "Bless O Lord, those we love 
but see no more and grant them eternal rest and peace in the presence of the risen Christ. Amen+"




I listened to a conversation that a person was having with one of my past professors...

"Dr. Price," she asked, "But where are the dead?"
 "They are with Christ," was all he had to say. 

But it was the way he said it with upraised finger of confidence. 

I also read a poet who answered that question by writing:

"Where aren't the dead?"  They are always with us and at all times alive in us.  Sometimes, however, we lack the assurance of the presence of Christ in whose Life all are alive....forever.
