Living without Fear of Death w/ Fr. Michael O'Loughlin | Chris Stefanick Show
Chris Stefanick Show

Chris got to sit down with Fr. Michael O’Loughlin, one of his great friends. Fr. Michael is the pastor at the Proto-Cathedral of St. Mary in Los Angeles. He recently drove six hours to be with Chris’s mother-in-law in the final hours of her life and subsequently celebrated her funeral Mass.
Today they’re sitting down to talk about death. Nobody likes talking about it, but we’ve all got to face it eventually. This is such a beautiful conversation, where Chris and Fr. O’Loughlin touch on things like how to live our lives as Catholics without a fear or anxiety of death, what a priest actually does when he administers Viaticum (also known as “last rites”), and how to memorialize the dead in our everyday lives to remember those who have gone before us.
This is a tough topic to talk about for some, but when we approach death as the holy experience that it is, that fear is replaced with the grace and loving mercy of the Lord!
