“If you follow the will of God, you know that in spite of all the terrible things that happen to you, you will never lose a final refuge. You know that the foundation of the world is love, so that even when no human being can or will help you, you may go on, trusting in the One that loves you.”
-Pope Benedict XVI
Thank you for praying for my grandpa and my family-I mean that from the bottom of my heart. We were told that my grandpa had a poor prognosis, so my parents took an emergency flight to India. My mom hasn’t seen him in 4 years and is very close to him. She wasn’t taking it well when she found out, so I prayed that she’ll at least get to see and speak him before he passed away. I prayed to St. Joseph, since he is the patron of a happy death. Praying with him, I felt a great sense of peace. My grandfather is one the most devout Catholics I know-his heart is so pure and genuine. My grandparents grew up in poverty, but they just recently built a nice home (with the help of all his kids). Since my grandparents are the only ones who live at the house, my grandpa lends the other rooms to people who need a place to stay due to unfortunate circumstances. Yeah random story, but I just knew heaven would be rejoicing to receive another saint :) Well long story short, I know the mystical Body of Christ have been praying really hard because my grandpa is doing really well and will be out of the hospital in no time-Praise God!
A.D.M.G,
