SEEING DEATH
Cardinal Joseph Bernardin died in 1996. He was the Catholic archbishop of Chicago. Cardinal Bernardin wrote of death, “We can look at death as an enemy or as a friend. If we see it as an enemy, death causes anxiety and fear. We tend to go into a state of denial. But if we see it as a friend, our attitude is truly different. As a person of faith, I see death as a friend, as the transition from earthly life to life eternal.”
