Not a dress rehearsal for death 0 SHARES Share it! ROLANDO DELA ROSANatural calamities and disasters defy our ability to forget because these remind us of something we all fear: death. I came across a website, Death Clock, that gives viewers a chilling sense of their mortality. If we use every moment as an opportunity to live fully, love intensely, and laugh merrily (despite the trials and pain we experience), our life on earth becomes a dress rehearsal for the resurrection. In today’s gospel reading, His comforting words, “Peace be with you” (John 20:19), dispelled the fear of death of His disciples.
