Why you should walk through a
cemetery this month . . .
A Walk
Amongst The Dead
This November, you could do worse than take a ‘short cut’
through a graveyard. You will not be alone. As winter draws in, all of nature
reminds us that life is given only for a season and that, just as with the
fallen leaves all around, our end too draws ever closer.
Nevertheless, for Catholics, this is not the end of the story;
we believe in a God that escaped the tomb, rose from it, transcended death,
and, is proclaimed the Author of Life. Looking across the many graves in a
cemetery, one can seem to catch a glimpse, if only for a moment, of what it
will be like on that much anticipated Great Day. Then those who lie in dust,
whether encased in a grand tomb or in a humble unmarked grave, shall hear the
same Trumpet blast and its summons to gather.
