They make me cry every time, too. He touched my heart so deeply .. his pure and his dutiful and selfless servie, and especially in his last days. I will never forget his death and funeral, and I will never forget the jubilation of today!
A BIG THANK YOU for the kind words of happiness and grasped awareness from all the non-Catholic posters. We are one with a firm belief in the mercy and glory of God, and this choice to hold onto undiluted integrity in the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church is good for us all.
As for the posters or interlopers with the totally inappropriate or crude remarks, I know one day you will be struck by the revelation of your impropriety and a discovery of the value of kindness, humility and proper respect... in God's time... when it becomes too painful for your flippancy to serve as a mask for other painful life issues. I pray that resolution and reconciliation come in time for you.
A WORD
A careless word may kindle strife:
A cruel word may wreck a life:
A bitter word may hate instill:
A brutal word may smite and kill:
A gracious word may smooth the way:
A joyous word may light the day:
A timely word may lessen stress:
A loving word may heal and bless.
May God Bless You!
