It is four decades since my paternal grandmother died. A Protestant saint if ever there was one. She told me that though she wasn’t Catholic she hoped I would pray for her after her death and I have done so. Such prayers bind us to our loved ones on the other side, and remind us of the powerful truth that none of us are ever alone.

My wife is Buddhist and always asks me to make a mass offering when friends and relatives pass. They have their own beliefs but also take comfort in knowing another spiritual connection.
