MH - "Born Toward Dying"

A tip of the hat to K-Lo for steering us toward this excellent meditation on death by Fr. Richard John Neuhaus - a man who himself once stared down death. Can't find an excerpt; the whole piece is too interrelated and deep to cut it into pieces. Just read it. Death is inevitable; with death comes rebirth (we pray) into a new and eternal life. That doesn't mean we go out of our way to seek it.
