The Pilgrim Soul

Mortality and Mourning


Listen Later

Fr. Chase Pepper joins Sofia on the podcast to share some wisdom about death. What’s missing in our Western society’s relationship to mortality and mourning? What alternative does the Church offer? What steps can we take so that, when we are confronted with our finitude, fear and anxiety can give way to gratitude? //

Our weekly challenge is to visit and pray at a cemetery. And our media recommendation is the collection of poetry “Love Poems from God,” compiled by Daniel Ladinsky. //
