Mourning

When you are grieving, where do you go for hope and comfort?

We all experience loss and grief at some point in our lives. We experience times of sadness and mourning where we need to be comforted.

In the Sermon on the Plain, Jesus promised, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4, ESV).

When we are mourning we can be confident that comfort is coming. Jesus promised that the mourner is blessed, because they will experience God’s comfort.

May we experience the blessedness of God’s comfort when we are in pain and mourning.

A Collect for Endurance: “Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the Cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
