“Death teaches us that we’re weaker than we thought–we’re mortal–and there must be something more than this. There must be a love that is stronger than death. That type of love is the deepest longing of all our hearts. It’s the love for which we were made. And as life draws to a close, our hearts long for it more, not less.”
(Scott Hahn, Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of Death and the Resurrection of the Body, pp.7-8)
