Boston's Archbishop at Mass for Souls of Bombing Victims
A quote from the homily preached by Cardinal Seán O'Malley, archbishop of Boston, on Sunday at a Mass for the repose of the souls of those who died as a result of the bombings at the Boston Marathon.
John Lennon once said, ‘Everything will be OK in the end. If it’s not OK, it’s not the end.’ Our faith goes beyond that optimism. Love is stronger than death. We are going to live forever in the Resurrection Christ won for us on the Cross. The innocent victims who perished this week; Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, Lu Lingzi, Officer Sean Collier, will live in eternity. Life is not ended, merely changed – that is the message of Easter. As Martin Luther King expressed, ‘Death is a comma, not a period at the end of a sentence.’
