Ron's memorial begins today. I've been thinking about him a lot lately, and what his legacy / contribution was in our lives.
This is a short passage from a letter written by Saint Braulio, Bishop of Saragossa.
“Let the hope of resurrection encourage us, then, because we shall see again those whom we lose here below. Of course, we must continue to believe firmly in Christ; we must continue to obey His commandments. His power is so great that it is easier for Him to raise the dead to life that it is for us to arouse those who are sleeping, As we are saying all these things some unknown feeling causes us to burst into tears; some hidden feeling discourages the mind which tries to trust and to hope. Such is the sad human condition; without Christ all of life is utter emptiness. "
Remembering our beloved deceased is not only helpful to them but also comforting to us. Every time we pray for them, we assist them on their arduous journey to Heaven and we recognize the indescribable compassion of the Almighty.
May the good and merciful Lord grant Ron's soul Everlasting Life in Paradise and unparalleled peace to his grieving family on earth!
