Father Christ Shares Our Grief
Couldn’t past the 1st sentence in today’s Gospel
Describes Father Christ in deep mourning
His cousin
His herald
His friend is dead
Brutally and senselessly murdered
Father Christ wants to be alone
He needs to be alone
He withdraws
Grieving is one of the most important thing we do in life
Loving relationships we form in our lives
Are one of the greatest thing we experience
When a loved one dies
Emptiness can seem too great to bear
Ay need to withdraw
Even reach out others for help
Someone says grieving means” relearning the world”
Relearning to live without this cherished Person
Physically present in our life
It is comforting to know that Father Christ
Shared in our human grief
Loving Father Christ
When I am mourning the loss of loved one
Please let me hear You say
“Lean on me
I understand”
Remember
Your grieving is the other side of your loving”
