At times, faith dishes out to us blows that tend to jerk our fate, but remember that our Lord will not leave us alone during trials and tribulations. Entrust all your sorrows, and worries, to Him. My prayers and thoughts will always be with you and your families. May the souls of your uncle and aunt sleep in perfect peace.

God called my mother home 38 years ago. She didn’t get a chance to see my children. The pain, sorrow and emptiness is at times unbearable. However, God will never gives something we can’t handle. He loves us and is always there to help us with our burdens. When were are overwhelmed, turn it over. May our Lord provide you with the strength, comfort and peace for your journey.

And putting love away
We shall not want to use again
Until eternity.

Years ago I lost my Grandmother, two Uncles and an Aunt in just a few years, they were all fairly young finally I lost my Mom. My faith then was not strong and I was mad at God for years. Then with the help of a special group of priests I found peace in God’s love. We all will go “home” when he calls we should rejoice in expectation. May God’s Peace bring you through the coming sad days and be with you always.
