    Visit David Partington I am deeply grateful for John O'Donohue's book Beauty: The Invisible Embrace. Readings from Chapter 9 "The White Shadow: Beauty and Death" have been shared with many in pastoral conversations. In particular many have found comfort in his words about Eternal Life. As I give thanks for his life I will continue to find comfort in these words, which in faith, I affirm he now knows. "Eternal life must also mean that one day we will be together again with the ones we love. This is the beauty of the notion of resurrection . . . the resurrection promise is the continuity of the individual life in transfigured form. We will be ourselves. We will recognize each other and we will be together, reunited for eternity." Thanks be to God for John's life and witness.
