"The reader will be challenged to pray and ponder the scriptures, to reflect on the contributions of such people as Brother Roger of Taize, Catherine of Genoa, John Courtney Murray, to experience the beauty of leisure and the significance of family and friends, to wrestle with questions of surrender, aging, equality, and conversion." -from the Foreword by Bishop Robert F. Morneau

"When a whole way of life is changed because of a death of some kind, the greatest loss may be that of hope. At this point we may begin an authentic change of direction, a change for the better, what Christians refer to as conversion. In the midst of survival, we sense the challenge to find ways to get in touch with the richness of life here and now and to welcome the next chapters of a life newly unfolding. Therein lie the seeds of resurrection."
