Death often inspires fear, despair, deep sadness and a sense of futility. this article deals with the Christian’s attitude in regard to this phenomenon. What should we do when faced with death?

Tells the story of Job and draws lessons from it. We are often ignorant of the reasons for some misfortunes that come to us, but our suffering does not give us the right to accuse God of wrong-doing. As Christians we have sources of consolation that Job did not have.

The faithful Christian benefits from numerous advantages that can motivate him to persevere in the trials of life and even in the face of persecution, to remain joyful no matter what happens, and to exhort others to follow the same way. This issue, edifying for the Christian, can also serve as a tool for evangelization.

The discovery of Christ is always something revolutionary in a life. It is as if man has been caught in the middle of a race and sent off in another direction, toward a different goal. All his energy is mobilized toward what apparently is for him that which is essential. An edifying study on the daily consecration of our life to Christ.
