Reconocer la humanidad del difunto El hecho de que alguien no haya creído como nosotros no borra su valor como persona. Recordemos sus virtudes: su cariño, sus esfuerzos, los momentos compartidos. La compasión cristiana nos llama a ver en cada ser humano la imagen de Dios, aunque su camino espiritual haya sido distinto. Honrar su memoria es honrar esa dignidad.
In the end, the best sermon for an unconverted person is not a eulogy and not a judgment; it is a sermon for the living . The dead are in the hands of a Judge who is also a Father. The pastor’s primary audience is the heartbroken spouse, the confused children, the guilty friend who wonders if they could have done more to evangelize. The sermon must turn their eyes from the closed casket to the open heavens. It must say, in effect: “I do not know where your loved one is. But I know who God is. He is not a bookkeeper. He is a father who ran down the road to meet the prodigal son before the son could even finish his confession. Pray for your departed. Trust in the inexhaustible ocean of divine mercy. And for yourself, let this loss be not a stone of despair, but a spur to conversion.” This is not a comfortable sermon. It leaves questions unanswered. But perhaps that is the point. In the presence of the mystery of death and the mystery of unbelief, the only honest word is one that points beyond itself—to a God whose silence is not absence, but the deepest form of listening.
