Last Day
In Stone to Flesh School of the Heart we are practicing 'last day' of the month, a discipline that focuses on thinking about the Last Things,: death, judgment, heaven or hell.
Death is a punishment. Death was not the intention of the Father. Death followed dis-communion. We've had it all but now we can't see, hear and feel clearly. We live in a distorted reality, in which we recognize hope but dimly. The struggle is to love with the pure intention and action.
But death is also a passage. It starts with goodbyes, heartaches and tears, but it ends in the Heart of All Hearts. It is possible to start living in this Heart even now. Try it.
“I know that you will bring me to death,
and to the house appointed for all living.”
