On Death and Dying
Dying is like a snowflake standing before the sun and melting into the wind out of the wilderness, carrying us to a place we cannot reach alone, and God is that wind beneath our wings.
In a news conference, just days before his death, Cardinal Bernardine of Chicago gave this statement...........
"We can look at death as a friend or an enemy. I prefer to look at death as a friend. A mere transition from earthly life to life eternal."
