Reflection To him all people are alive Coming to the end of life is like travelling through a narrow tunnel and when we pass through it at its narrowest, we then emerge into the widest space we have ever known, wider, brighter than any of our thoughts, dreams, hopes. For a true description of God is the Lover of life, bringing life to the full, seeing life when all seems lost, in despair, hopelessness, confusion at any age or when pain and ill-health drain the body of life. God looks on our dying moments and sees not a person nearly dead, but a man or woman on the doorstep of full life. God looks on our times of illness and sees us struggling with the limits of earthly life but growing in the life of the soul. And this is how people saw Jesus: a man full of the life of love and of compassion, of conviction and energy. One who lived in the fullness of God's promise that life is linked in the golden string of heaven and earth. God is not the God of the dead, but of the living, and to God, all people are alive. ************** A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY!
