Funeral sermon
Dear grieving family, esteemed mourning assembly.
In a moment, we will walk between the graves, carry with your mother to the designated place. We will go around the graves and read different names and dates. The date marked with an asterisk indicates the time of birth, the cross indicates a painful departure. The distance between the asterisk and the cross on the monument is only a few centimeters in life, it was 86 years. All human life is interwoven with flowers of joy but also with thistles of pain the effort of disease and suffering. It all began with crying at birth and ending with crying at death. So a wise man asks himself what is human life, why was I born and why do I have to die once? Biblical Job called life a fight and many see the meaning of life in the struggle for a better tomorrow. Poets like to call human life a big theater play as there are many actors in the theater, and they have different roles when they give only a few sentences on stage. So in life there are some statesmen, scientists, generals they have big tasks and then there are people who have medium or small tasks.but they all complement each other still go on stage and others leave the stage of life. Others call life a transformation because something is constantly changing. Man changes because he grows, ages, the world changes. For others life is a secret. We don’t know why a person was born, the less we know why a person dies. This plenty of questions about the meaning of human life leads us to statement that life is search. Who seeks will find, but what will find? A satisfactory answer, or another unease. A great philosopher and simultaneously a holy man Augustine who also searched until he found it expressed in words. You have created us for God our heart is dissatisfied until the Lord rest in you. In God man finds peace because in God, he finds the answer to his questions. God created me and created me for himself. The knowledge that I belong to God will always calm me down in joy at work, especially in pain and suffering. Most importantly, though, I will find myself in the book of life after death. All who have lived with God will be in glory with God. Your mother, who we are accompanying on the last journey of life today certainly be in the book of life. Her whole life is marked by faith god deeds, love. We who accompany her should think about our lives, our deeds. For this, way awaits us, and our souls will go to the judgment of God. In which book we will be written? We should think about this and this and ask for the grace of good life, good death and happy death.
