"There are things in this world that are worse than death. Chief among them is the loss of one we hold dear. If we are fortunate, we love someone enough that we would risk or even give our lives to save them. At our best, we human beings are capable of loving another more than ourselves, more than life itself."
In a recent commentary, Bishop Richard G. Henning, bishop of the Diocese of Providence
(RI), reflected on the life-giving love poured forth in Jesus as the source of our consolation as we remember our lost loved ones on All Souls Day.
