You’re Going to Die—What to Do in the Meantime (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

You’re Going to Die—What to Do in the Meantime (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

11 Dec, 2025

You may have heard the phrase, "Memento Mori" when it comes to reflecting on death, but how should Christians really view death?

Fr. Mike Schmitz explains three common views we may hold about death:

  • Death is the enemy
  • Death is a natural part of life
  • Death is a new birth (but we're not excited about it)

However, Fr. Mike explains that all three fall short; death is actually a lover. Our goal should not be a longing for death, but a longing for the One on the other side. How can you long for Heaven and Jesus today?
