“If there is any word that summarizes well our pain, it is the word ‘loss.’ We have lost so much! What to do with our losses? That’s the first question that faces us. This is how the journey starts. The question is whether our losses lead to resentment or to gratitude.
Mourning our losses is the first step away from resentment and toward gratitude in our celebration of the Holy Eucharist. The tears of our grief can soften our hardened hearts and open us to the possibility to say ‘thanks.'” (Fr. Henri J.M. Nouwen, “With Burning Hearts”, pp. 28, 32, 34)
