Evening: Psalms 34, 150; Daniel 12:1-3; Mark 13:21-27
One beautiful dark evening, I heard a child who was fishing with her father ask him, “What are stars?” He answered, “Planets.” I wanted to object, “Stars are suns.” Sometimes adults tell children that stars are dead loved ones. Why answer children’s questions, when we don’t know the answers, with fabrications? Why not just say, “I don’t know all that happens when we die,” because that’s the truth? So tell the truth. Do not fear mystery. And don’t make things up … perhaps just say you believe the universe was made by Love for Love?
