New Book by Sister Nuala Kenny — Rediscovering the Art of Dying

Sister Nuala Kenny’s new book “Rediscovering the Art of Dying – How Jesus’ Experience and Our Stories Reveal a New Vision of Compassionate Care” is available for order. 

Drawing on the passion of Christ, Sr. Nuala Kenny reflects on the inevitable questions we all face regarding health, illness, suffering, and dying. She provides a profound spiritual and biblical reflection by linking Jesus’ own experience of suffering and death with real-life stories about patients in today’s world. This book is for anyone undergoing or reflecting on illness, suffering, and dying. It is also for families and friends who accompany the sick, dependent, and dying, and for caregivers who accompany them. It is sure to guide attitudes, practical decisions, and actions that are central concerns in serious illness and dying, while clearing up misunderstandings that often accompany periods of stress.

For a deeper explanation of the book, read S. Nuala’s article “Rediscovering the art of dying” (The Catholic Register, August 10, 2017).
