Yesterday there was a funeral Mass for a lady in our parish. She has battled cancer for a long time. I didn't know her well, only to say "hello" in passing or ask how her grandchildren were. As long as she was able to she brought them to Mass with her and any church related activities. She was a beautiful example of knowing the value of a soul.
I dithered about attending her Mass as I didn't know her family at all and I've been raised with the idea that that's why we attend - to support the family. But then I was enlightened to know that it's an act of Mercy to attend. To pray for her soul. And those of the souls in Purgatory.
"May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen"

The Password Society
It has been a long time since I posted. This was not deliberate. It's taken me that long to crack my password. There's just too many in our world and I cannot keep them straight and we are constantly warned not to write them down. What's a girl to do?
