On Death and Other Limitations

As some MOJ readers may already know, Chicago’s Archbishop, Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., recently found out that he has some cancerous cells in his body.  Doctors are trying to determine if this is a new cancer or a recurrence of the bladder cancer he had six years ago.  Please keep the Cardinal in your prayers.

In his weekly column (available here) Cardinal George offers a beautiful reflection on the desire we all have for control in our lives, the absence of that control, the inevitability of death, and our relationship with God.  It is well worth reading.
