Thank you all for your prayers. They are a great comfort to us in our time of sorrow.
At 11:30 pm, last night, my Lord entreated me to pray. As I pondered this command to pray, my soul was drawn to pray especially for Christopher, my Grandson. I certainly did not know the tragedy which was unfolding, yet God in His mercy made sure that Christopher was surrounded in prayer in his final moments. I prayed the Divine Mercy for Chris, and asked the angels to surround us all.
At 12:50 am, Feast of the Holy Angels, I drifted off to sleep, secure in the knowledge that God had heard the prayers he asked me to pray. At that very moment, Christopher slipped the bonds of earth, and flew into Eternal Life, surrounded in Gods love and Mercy. I am reflecting upon our violent and sudden loss of our Christopher. Yet in my heart, I know that God knew Christopher would be dying as I prayed the Divine Mercy for him.
My heart is heavy with the loss of Christopher, but I know he is safe and God has him firmly in his arms.
“Jesus, I trust in You!”
