“Death does not silence Abel’s voice, it amplifies it. The same grave that removes Abel’s cries from Cain’s ears, amplifies them in the presence of God.”

"the seasons change & you change, but the Lord abides evermore the same, & the streams of His love are as deep, as broad, & as full as ever."

Catharine of Siena lived in Europe during the Black Plague during the 1300s. Rather than sink into fear, she placed her trust in Christ and continued her ministry. She even laid hands on the sick and prayed for them. Her story speaks today in the midst of the corona outbreak.
“The greatest philosophers declared that what you think about death, and life beyond it, is the key to thinking seriously about everything else- and, indeed, it provides one of the main reasons for thinking about anything at all.”
