Perhaps, dear Mother, you are already a saint in heaven. You bore many trials with dignity. You were sometimes sad and lonely because this busy world caused some of us to think you would be with us forever, and not make the most of your time here on earth. Dear Mother, you tried so hard to be God ‘s good daughter and bring your brood to the foot of our Savior’s cross, that we may beg for His mercy and proclaim him King or heaven and earth. Fear not, as God’s ways are far above our ways, and He is calling your/His children home.
