On Prayer & Death
“She told me once that she had asked the Lord about prayers. He’d said all prayers were answered, ‘but sometimes the answer is no.’” [The Stranger in the Lifeboat, p.152]
“Why did my wife have to die?’ …. “When someone passes Benjamin, people always ask, ‘Why did God take them?’ A better question would be ‘Why did God give them to us? What did we do to deserve their love, their joy, the sweet moments we shared? …. Those moments are a gift. But their end is not punishment ….’” [Ibid. p. 241]
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.
St. Francis de Sales, pray for us.
May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.
