In my meditation this morning, I have been “struggling” to understand the Lord’s decision to take Megan with him yesterday. Megan is a beautiful 12 year old girl – grandniece of one of our benefactors - who contacted an unknown virus sometime ago. Her “passion” on this earth ended yesterday as her bereaved father “surrendered” to the loving will of God and allowed her to go where she could be free from all pain and suffering.
Some consoling words came to me as I contemplate this seemingly sad reality: “Consider the change of nature in autumn: all this should not generate sadness because nature does not end. Nature only knows transformation and regeneration in a perennial cycle of sweet and harmonious renewal.”
For all those who grieve for the loss of their loved ones, may you find consolation in our resurrection faith and in these words too.
