Oratio Divina: In Memoriam

In seasons of loss
may our grief
be a reminder
of the depth
of our love
our sorrow
a tribute
to our capacity
for connection
our tears
a memorial
for the good times
we had
and will have again
in the great beyond
~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Reflection:
How can your grief become a sacred expression of love rather than a source of despair?

Scripture:
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4
