"God our Father, you gave your Child to make us your children. Raise us to full maturity in him through the school of the Gospel. We ask this in Jesus's name. Amen."

A wise old man I know - he's 101 - refers to his death as a "graduation".
Elder Sophrony also talks about the importance of death as the door to life and of course it is all tied up to Christ. This IS the schooling we need... Lord help us listen!
