AFTERLIFE
...stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption
is at hand. - Luke 21: 28
One of my favorite movies is GHOST, starring Demi Moore and
Patrick Swayze. I like this movie because it is a different kind of love story… love between a
man and a woman which continued on to the afterlife when the man met his untimely death.
What is interesting in the story is how they showed the soul departing from the
body. The good person's soul departing from the body. The good person's soul is taken up by some
sort of "angels" while the bad person's soul is taken down by some sort of "devils." I found
these scenes startling.
I thought that if this really happens when we die, how scary it is to be dragged
down by those black creatures and how glorious it is to be brought up by those angelic creatures.
Looking at my life, when the time comes, I surely would like to meet my Creator.
I would want Him to give me a good tap on my shoulders and say, "You did a good job, Rose!"
Rose I.

REFLECTION:
If you were
to face God
now, will He
commend you
for a job
well done?
Lord, help us
to choose to be
worthy children
of Yours.
St. Cassian,
martyr,
pray for us.
