“Let’s begin with an important question: ‘Where are you?’
This is God’s first word to Adam in Genesis: God strolling in the Garden, looking to chat with Adam and Eve.
‘Where are you?’ It wasn’t an accusing question, but an anxious one, full of love and concern.
“God asks us the same question regarding death: Jesus came to destroy death, to make of it an in-between moment rather than a terminal darkness.

Are you sceptical? Uncertain? Agnostic? Honestly admitting you just don’t know?”
Brian Grogan SJ has written widely on the topic of life after death. He gave four excellent talks on the subject at the end of last year.
