There is Life After Death
In his Sunday Mass Homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, +Bp. Romie-Jun Peñalosa reminded everyone that there is life after death. This truth, though often difficult to face, lies at the heart of our Christian faith. We all want to go to heaven, yet many of us fear dying. However, death is not the end—it is a passage toward eternal life with God. Accepting that death is inevitable allows us to live with deeper faith, gratitude, and purpose.
Bishop Peñalosa emphasized that while death is the last enemy we encounter, Jesus Christ has already conquered it through His resurrection. Because of this victory, we no longer need to live in fear. Death will come for everyone, without warning or exception, but through faith in Christ, we can face it with peace and hope.
This short and fragile life teaches us to value every moment. We are called to express love openly—to tell our families and friends that we appreciate them while we still have time. Life after death reminds us that every act of kindness, forgiveness, and compassion prepares us for the life to come. Therefore, while we can still forgive, we must forgive wholeheartedly those who have wronged us. Forgiveness frees our souls and brings us closer to God’s eternal promise.
Ultimately, we must live each day ready for Christ’s return. We do not know the hour or the day, but we know His word is true: those who believe in Him will never die but will have everlasting life. Let us live with faith, love, and readiness, always remembering that there is life after death, and it is a life far more glorious than we can ever imagine.
