A Mass for my Mother

Today the mass I had scheduled to be said for my mom's soul finally came up almost a year after requesting it (we have a large parish), and I was able to get my husband and youngest son to go with me, which was a delight.  We had a wonderful homily from our diocesan vocations director, Fr. Brian McMaster.

Father McMaster





What a gifted speaker he is! Made me wish I could rush off to sign up for the priesthood myself, lol! I certainly hope he gets through to our many young people. I pray that God will increase vocations to the priesthood and religious life, especially in our young people. There is nothing more beautiful that a committed young sister or priest or deacon or monk, etc, glowing with God's love.

Life is a hard thing a lot of the time and we have received a crushing blow a few days ago as I mentioned in my last post, but somehow we must carry on.  I just need to remember to stay wrapped in Mary's mantle, to lean on the everlasting arms of Jesus, and to call upon my guardian angel for his help as well.
