Praise G-d!

This morning i received the news that, Violet, my little 2 year old niece has been unexpectedly caught up to Heaven in her sleep.

Praise G-d!

What a Blessing for her. for 2 years Violet was snuggled in the arms of her family, only to be caught up without warning to Paradise. She had a life without serious sin, She never knew a day of true suffering. Everyday of her life, she was surrounded with love, toys, family and pets. but most importantly, Love.

Her time here was as close to the Garden of Eden as mere men may come too in this life.

Thank you Father. Your Mercy and Justice are Righteous, Your Holiness and Glory are Perfect. You have been Merciful and taken Violet before she knew an evil day.

How can we not Love You Lord?

My Friends, Please do not reply to this post. Only say it with me. wherever you are, whatever you are doing. Today, lift up your voice with me. Cry out to Heaven in awe of His Perfect Love and Mercy.

so say it with me now.

All Praise and Glory to the Holy One! Holy, Holy Holy, is the Lord G-d, Almighty!
 
i know a number of you are praising G-d with me, thank you. ❤️
 
i am so very, very sorry for your tremendous loss.

many of us are here for you if you feel like expressing yourself.

why are you taking the “O” out of God ?

I think he is expressing reverence for God in His immense greatness. He is acknowledging that however much we know of God, we know very little. I believe that in not naming God he is acknowledging God with some kind of speechless awe. Remember the story of St Augustine trying to comprehend the mystery of the Trinity, and the response in image was of a little child on the beach trying to get the ocean into a bucket.

This man has such deep reverence for God and the things of God, that even in his family’s grief, he knows to be grateful that his little niece is completely pure of soul and wholly and joyfully with God.

There is some history on this: For instance, the Jews after returning from the Babylonian captivity began to reverence the name of God so greatly they forbade its use , first for the populace and eventually for the priests. Finally, only the high priest, and only on the Day of Atonement, was allowed to say it.
 
I want to thank everyone who praised G-d with me today. I know that I, and surely Violet as well, love you all. thank you.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
 
And while happy for Violet and God’s delight in her, and God’s wonder in creating her and keeping her soul glorious,
we will be praying for her grieving parents.
For them, whatever praise and thanks to God for their little treasure, there will also be much pain.
Jesus wept for His friend, and so will they cry for the loss of their baby girl.
God bless you for your faith
 
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
 
Lord, please help the family of the bereaved parents to be mindful that the viewpoint expressed,
which, though a valid expression of faith,
if expressed without deep compassion for the parents and other family members,
may seem like heartless platitude to anyone in deep grief,
as these parents and the grandparents will be.
Their loss will hurt acutely now and at many times in the future,
missing the little one who is not with them

Dearest Lord, please help them to bear their loss and to cope in the coming days and years.
 
feels like your all sensoring God’s name, i dont mean to offend no one but the 1st commandment did have the letter O in it y’know. but whatever to each theyre own. do you.

Jesus gave us the right to call God “Father”, and the bible and the Church use “God” freely, but as you say, to each his own.
Anyway, remembering the family in Communion at Mass
 
God bless Violet and her family.

Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the power, the kingdom and the glory,
Forever and ever,
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now
And at the hour of our death
Amen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son
And to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
Is now, and shall be forever
Amen.
 
Warpspeedpetey…
Wow.
I appreciate how you turned what to an ordinary man would be tragic into joy. The pain must be unbearable. But, at such a young age, she is still innocent! You are correct to praise His Holy Name!

My respect for you just increased dramatically.
 
Eternal rest grant unto Violet, O Lord. And may Your Perpetual Light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
Amen.
