A Better Place Awaits Us: Family Reflection Video

A Better Place Awaits Us: Family Reflection Video

Healing the family

Many have been deceived thinking that God has abandoned them. Not so! Not so!

In the poignant story I shared today, the father’s expression of faith in a life hereafter provides us with a hope-filled message during this final week before Advent. In the Gospel, Jesus also offers a hopeful message that despite all bad things that happen in life, the body can be killed … but the soul cannot.

Do not be misled. Do not be terrified. Recalling the promise of Jesus and our faith in the hereafter provides comfort to those who grieve and to those who are afraid to die themselves. Is there anyone in your family that could be reassured by these messages today?

Even during times of great losses, great blessings are waiting to blossom! May God bless you and all of our blog readers today.
