In that moment, I knew that I had been blessed. I didn't know the magnitude of the blessing until many years later.

Some of our greatest blessings are faith, hope, and charity. I have always known the presence of God, even as a small child. My faith never wavered, even as I watched precious people, even children, die of cruel diseases, even when I witnessed the unimaginable horrors of Dachau. Certainly hope never failed me. The blessing I received from this dying man was the realization that I had been blessed charity, as well as faith and hope. The love I felt for him was as powerful as anything I have ever known. These blessings are like a well, available to all of us, from which each of us can take as much as he wants.

Every moment of life can be as transcendent as that moment, certainly staring into the beauty of a wildflower or a sunset, listening to music, or being lost in ecstasy of love with the beloved, but also in the simplest of every day moments.

Never despair. Keep going. And note tagline.
