In God\u2019s hands<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We men and woman of today do not know what to do with death<\/strong>.\u00a0 Sometimes the only thing that comes into our mind is to ignore it and not to talk about it, to forget this sad event as soon as possible, fulfill the necessary religious or civil formalities, and then get back once again to our daily life.<\/p>\n

But sooner or later, death comes visiting our homes and takes away from us our dearest loved ones<\/strong>. How do we react when death takes our mother from us forever?\u00a0 What attitude do we adopt when our beloved spouse bids us goodbye for the last time?\u00a0 What do we do in the face of the emptiness that the death of so many friends has left in our life?<\/p>\n

Death is a door that each person goes through alone<\/strong>.\u00a0 Once the door is closed, our loved ones are hidden from us forever.\u00a0 We do not know what has become of them.\u00a0 These persons, so dear and so close, are lost to us now in the unfathomable mystery of God.\u00a0 How do we relate to them?<\/p>\n

We followers of Jesus do not just passively take the reality of death.\u00a0 Trusting in the Risen Christ, we accompany with love and prayer our departed loved ones in their mysterious encounter with God.\u00a0 There is no desolation, rebellion or hopelessness in the Christian liturgy for the departed.\u00a0 At its center is found only a prayer of trust: \u201cInto your hands, Father of mercies, we commend the life of our loved one.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

What meaning can these funeral rites have among us today who come together, with diverse sensibilities, to face the mystery of death?\u00a0 What can we\u2014believers, not so believers, hardly believers, non-believers\u2014do together?<\/p>\n

We have, over the years, changed much within.\u00a0 We have become more critical, but also more fragile and vulnerable; we are more skeptical, but also more insecure.\u00a0 It is not easy for us to believe, yet it is difficult not to<\/strong>.\u00a0 We live with lots of doubts and uncertainties, but we do not know how to find hope.<\/p>\n

There are times when I usually invite people who come to a funeral to do something that we can all do, each one starting from his or her little faith. I tell them that we can say, from within our heart, to our departed loved one a few words that express our love for him or her and our humble plea to God:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to love you, but now we do not know how to be in touch with you or what to do for you. Our faith is weak and we do not know how to pray.\u00a0 But we entrust you to God\u2019s love, we leave you in his hands.\u00a0 God\u2019s love is for you today a safer place than anything we ourselves can offer you.\u00a0 Enjoy the fullness of life.\u00a0 God loves you more than we know how to love you.\u00a0 One day we will see each other again<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n
