After a death processing grief can be difficult, yet necessary. Why? It helps to except the reality of the death. It helps us to work through the pain, and adjust to life without our loved one. And finally grieving helps to maintain a connection to our loved one. Grieving doesn’t end however we learn to grow around it and to build new memories. 🌹

“Trust in the Lord, and do Good...”

11/03/2020

Prayer has great strength and when we pray it makes embittered hearts mellow, a sad heart joyful, a foolish heart wise, a timid heart bold, a weak heart strong, a blind heart clear seeing, a cold heart warm. It draws God, who is great, into a heart which is small. It draws the hungry soul up to the fullness of God. It unites the two lovers-God and soul-in a place of bliss where they converse long of love. - Based on Merchtild of Magdeburg

Lord, our Rock and Redeemer As we start our day, our weekend, provide peace and protection to each of us.
As we reflect on what’s going on in the world, in our country and in our neighborhoods, we thank you that you are unchanging, your character remains the same yesterday, today and forever. Lord, Hear our prayer on behalf of all who may be dealing with this Coronavirus and those who care for them. We ask that you pour out abundant blessings on them. As their circumstances change, we pray that they would find comfort in your unchanging love and care. May your hand provide protection, and strength during these times and may your spirit provide peace in their souls. In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, and in the Name of Jesus the Christ. Amen.

If you are moved by the death of Kristoff St. John who was deeply saddened over the death of his son, reach out today to someone who is grieving or dealing with mental illness. Henri Nouwen writes:
“Action with and for those who suffer is the concrete expression of the compassionate life and the final criterion of being a Christian.
