Thank you, Haley! “The wild reality of our own resurrection” - I love this phrase. The Lord has been working on my heart a lot around this in recent years, often in very painful ways. But He is always Good! Not safe, but Good. (To borrow from Lewis).
Thankyou so much Kerri for this beautiful Ash Wednesday reflection. It will remain with me long after reading. May God bless you in your apostolate and throughout Lent.
Kerri, this was really beautiful. Thanks for sharing it here.
Neither my husband nor I had really had much up-close experience with death, aside from going to my grandfather's funeral. One of his good friends during college passed away from cancer a year and a half ago. We were supporting him and his wife (and two girls) in their mission work, and my husband was able to be a pallbearer at the funeral. The Lord did a really intense work in me since then, of the necessity of remembering our death and the wild reality of our own resurrection.
I’m sorry about your husband’s friend. That must be so hard for his widow and children. I hope they have a good community of support- it makes such a huge difference.
