The Hour of our Death.....

 NOT a blog tour post....

This morning on EWTN Fr. Mitch Pacwa got a question about 'the hour of our death' which is sometimes mentioned in prayers.

Fr. Mitch admits that he doesn't know a lot about the hour of our death because he hasn't tried it yet (though he will.)

He does say he's spoken to hospice nurses who have worked with large numbers of dying people. They have notices that when a person has lived their whole life rejecting God and any form of faith, the moment of their death is sometimes a moment of fear. In people of faith, the moment of death is so often a moment of peace.

That's an interesting observation. If Certain People are right and all religious people are deluded, wouldn't the moment of death often be a moment of fear when those delusions are shattered, or at least lose the power they once had over the now-dying person?

And if there is nothing after death, why would the non-believer fear that, while the 'deluded' Christian finds peace?

Maybe there is more to life and death than Certain People know about.
