Today we went to the funeral of my dear friend Sheila. It was a joyful yet sad occasion. It was joyful for Sheila because she was with her Lord whom she'd served all her life. But we wept for ourselves, we'll miss her, and we wept for her sick husband, and for her daughter who loved her mother so much. I pray for Maria daily as life has been very hard for her. Her only sibling died unexpectedly about 3 years ago, her husband deserted her, her father has almost died several times in the last few years, and now her mother, who has been a tower of strength to them all, had a stroke which left her totally incapacitated and subsequently died.
Holy Mary, for whom Maria was named, we implore your help for Maria.
