Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Henri Nouwen Society Daily Meditation for Friday, 29 August 2014 "The Companionship of the Dead"
As we grow older we have more and more people to remember, people who have died before us.  It is very important to remember those who have loved us and those we have loved.  Remembering them means letting their spirits inspire us in our daily lives.  They can become part of our spiritual communities and gently help us as we make decisions on our journeys.   Parents, spouses, children, and friends can become true spiritual companions after they have died.  Sometimes they can become even more intimate to us after death than when they were with us in life.
Remembering the dead is choosing their ongoing companionship.(Father Henri J. M. Nouwen)
