Pondering Tidbits of Truth
is my simple and inadequate way of providing nuggets of spiritual wisdom for
you to chew on from time to time.
Ven. Fulton J. Sheen
"Death is an affirmation of the purpose of life in an otherwise meaningless existence. The world could carry on its God-less plan if there were no death. What death is to an individual, that catastrophe is to civilization - the end of its wickedness. This is a source of anguish to the modern mind, for not only must human beings die, but the world must die. Death is a negtive testimony to God's power in a meaningless world, for by it God brings meaningless existence to nought. Because God exists, evil cannot carry on its wickedness indefinitely. If there were no catastrophe, such as the Apocalypse reveals, at the end of the world, the univese would then be the triumph of chaos...
Death proves also that life has meaning, because it reveals that the virtues and goodness practiced within time do not find their completion except in eternity."
