Join Patti Brunner and Truth of the Spirit for concluding Facing Finals Session 3: Preparing for\xa0a Happy Death and Eternal Life. Saint Anthony of Padua wrote that \u201cNothing is more certain\xa0than death and nothing more uncertain than the day and hour of our death.\u201d Sue Yarbrough taught\xa0children, \u201cThe happiest day of your life is the day you die and get to go to heaven!\u201d In this Facing\xa0Finals episode of Truth of the Spirit, Patti Brunner shares that a happy death does not mean an\xa0\u2018easy\u2019 death. In fact death surrounded by great suffering can still be a happy death. Suffering in\xa0this world is not rejection by God. Suffering began by man rejecting God. God so loved the World\xa0that He sent his only son to suffer and die in this world so that we could have the opportunity to\xa0never suffer again for all eternity\u2014and the person who repents shall live forever in joy. This journey\xa0of life is not geared toward a momentary \u201cpayoff\u201d like presents on Christmas morning. The joy\xa0lasts forever for those called to the table of the eternal banquet in heaven. And it starts with a\xa0happy death: A death in friendship with God, a death\xa0 dwelling in God\u2019s grace. Included on the\xa0blog on Patriarchministries.com are some of the bereavement services offered by St. Vincent de\xa0Paul Church in Rogers, AR.
