At church today, the first reading was from the book of Wisdom. The first sentence was, “God did not make death, nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living.” That hit my heart immediately. The Gospel reading was about a woman who was ill for many years. She touched Jesus’ cloak and was healed. Then Jesus raised a young girl from the dead. The priest who had visited my mom several times was the celebrant for the Mass. He talked about the Sacraments of healing that the church has to offer. He told a little bit of my mom’s story. It was beautiful and heartwarming.

I Found God today remembering the blessings my mom received and God’s promise of life.
