Love Mrs.Edwards!!♥️✝️♥️

“No one wants to be 96 years old,” Mrs. Loris Edwards said with a German accent, “but I have to be grateful.”

Confined to a recliner in her home, the former long-time principal of St. Mary’s Catholic School in Temple said, “I find physical complaints tedious. It’s not that I am virtuous, but I learned what virtue is.”

Mrs. Edwards was born to affluent parents in what was German Silesia before World War II. She knew a happy home filled with frequent guests.

“In our house, we held dances and moved the tables to the wall. My father played piano badly and sang badly,” she said. “We laughed a lot.”

Despite their affluence, Milly and Artur Nickel lived a life of deep spirituality. Artur was educated by Jesuits, and Mrs. Edwards found out after the death of her mother that Milly had been a Franciscan Tertiary. Both had risked their lives to help Jews during World War II, something Mrs. Edwards also found out later.

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." (Matthew 11:28-30)

On this World Priest Day (also known as World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests), please remember all priests in your prayers! Say a Rosary or Divine Mercy Chaplet, light a candle, give a Holy Hour, and then TELL your priest you are praying for him! He will be grateful!
