(size: 0 MB )
The Book of Wisdom offers us the strange assertion that God did not make
death, for he formed humanity to be imperishable. This revelation
directs us towards the truth that death is much more than merely the
dissolution of the body; it is the full impact of the power of sin over
our lives. This power is especially evident in our fear of death. The
dormition of the Mother of God offers us a sign that Christ has given to
humanity a way that takes us not only beyond our fear of death but
beyond death itself. The way of Christ enables us to face the power of
death with trust rather than fear.
