Product Details
Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at eleven, Emily DeArdo knew what it was like to live with a keen awareness of her own mortality. In this book, she draws on the medieval practice of memento mori, “remember you must die,” and shares her personal story with unique and compelling insight into the meaning of Christian life and death. Using the Stations of the Cross as a framework, DeArdo leads readers to trust in God’s providence as they confront suffering and death and develop enduring spiritual strength and courage along the way.
Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble, FSP, kicked off a rediscovery of memento mori on social media when she began tweeting about #mementomori and what it’s like living with a plastic skull on her desk. Emily DeArdo said the practice caught on with millennials like her who were searching for what’s real, true, and lasting in life. Trying to find the answer to “is this all there is?” often led her to thinking about death and what happens afterward, she noted.
In Living Memento Mori, DeArdo shares the insight she gained from living her life on the precipice of death: a willingness to embrace the Cross of Christ can transform the pain and loss we all inevitably experience into a source of spiritual growth
