Over the past month or so I have been heavily involved with some terminally ill people who have subsequently died. They were people of great faith, and the remarkeable thing was their lack of any anxiety or fear. And during their illness and dying they ministered to their families and helped them as they made their journey.
Having faith does make a difference.
And the faith of these people has been nurtured and strengthened through their participation in the life of the community of faith, where Sunday by Sunday they received the Sacrament of Holy Communuion. This together with their reading of the Scriptures and their prayer life has been the source of their life in Christ.
Being an active participant in the Community of faith is such a vital part of it all.
If you are reading this and don't belong to, or are not a very active member consider the infinite worth of being a part odf the Church - the community of faith - the body of Christ
