Bihop Tobin on Our Belonging to Christ

"None of us lives as his own master and none of us dies as his own master. While we live we are responsible to the Lord, and when we die, we die as his servants. Both in life and death we are the Lord's. (Rom 14: 7-8)

"This beautiful passage from St. Paul's Letter to the Romans is often used at funerals, and appropriately so. It's an insight that's also helpful for us at any time. But, why do we belong to Christ? And what does that mean for us?"

In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on some of the ramifications of our belonging to Christ.
