• Lectio Divina: A Good Death

  “A person has only died a good death when stalwartly accepting, like Jesus, one’s own internal god-forsakenness; only that is ultimate pathless mysticism.”
  ~Karl Rahner

  Reflection:
  How do I respond when God feels absent—do I resist the darkness, or can I remain faithful within it?

  Scripture:
  “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” — Matthew 27:46
