Dear Cousin, I may have said those same words at one time, even as a “cradle Catholic”, how could people return from the dead? Though I always believed, sometimes I’d question that faith. Then in my early 30s, with three young children, I had an emergency surgery where doctors told me later they thought they’d “lost me”. I think they did because I had a most faith-enlivening experience during the surgery. I heard a nurse near me say, “There are no vital signs.” I won’t go into the details of my ‘encounter’ with the Lord here, but he spoke to me with questions and my responses were just thoughts, not words. Then I was awakened roughly still on the operating table. I cried, mainly because I had refused my Saviour by claiming that my children needed me, I had to return. Thank God, He allowed me that extra chance. I’ve been truly blessed with three remarkable children and a devoted spouse. People can return from the dead, just as in my case. not into a promised Eternity. I do believe, however, that I will and can be there one day, just as Jesus arose triumphantly.
