The Rev. Mike Angell is rector of The Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion in St. Louis.
I am convinced that God holds the souls of those who have taken their own life with compassion, with welcome, with love. I trust God welcomes those who die by suicide into the arms of mercy, just as God will welcome each and every one of us.
This Lent my question to you is simple: how will you use this wilderness time? How will you make sense of these days?
Where does this story take place? The answer is more complex and beautiful the harder you look. For in the end the story can take place only in the hearts of all those who long for God. The love of God comes among us, yes even us. The answer to the question is up to you. Where will this story take place for you this Christmas?
