Ups, downs and happy death

There are ups and downs in life and they should not dictate how we look at a person's entire life, writes Fr. Ron Rolheiser.

In the Roman Catholic culture within which I grew up, we were taught to pray for a happy death. For many Catholics at the time, this was a standard petition within their daily prayer: “I pray for a happy death.”
