In his latest blog posting, Archbishop Timothy Dolan invites us to consider what we used to call "the last things," you recall, death, judgment, heaven and hell. And, quite rightly, Dolan points out that there is nothing morbid or even depressing about thinking about death and dying for the Christian.
I think we need more of this ole time religion in our pulpits. Yes, we have work to do on this earth, but we remain destined for a better world than this one, and that vision of that better world helps to keep both perspective on our travails and encouragement towards the goal. Keep it coming Archbishop Dolan!
