The Bishop asked if she had spoken with God about his confession and if she could tell him his sins. The woman said she did talk with God about this and God was very clear in his answer. In Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. In Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Jesus did it.
Death is the great American taboo.
We fear talking about it, we fear thinking about it, we avoid facing it when it comes. When it comes it seems to turn our lives upside down.

And when we see death in the light of Jesus Christ, we discover that it is radically different from what this world would lead us to believe.
