More helpful in death: Homily for Wednesday, May 24, 2023

One phrase Saint Dominic is known for, was when as he was near death, he reassured the friars that he would be more helpful to them in his death than he would be in this world. Death can be frightening, scary, anxiety producing. But when we cling to Jesus, it is our pathway to life.
