Living the Blessing whilst marked with Death

Today I stumbled across a video that has a certain relevance to me and my family. It’s about a particular type of ailment and a particular type of attitude towards life. Seemingly the one thing contradicts the other, but in truth they have so much to do with each other. An existential philosopher like Heidegger tells us that death gives life direction, and therefore we need to learn to die well in order to live well (as you find in the Christian literature called Ars moriendi). Life and death is interdependent.



Remember to live (memento vivendi).

(and please forgive me for blogging something from Opera...).
