Thinking of you and sending you prayers. What follows is a quote from Charles Dicken's. "The Curiosity Shop"
When death strikes down the innocent and young, from every fragile form from which He lets the panting spirit free, a hundred virtues arise, in shapes of mercy, charity, and love, to walk the world and bless it. Of every tear that sorrowing mortals shed on such green graves, some good is born, some gentler nature comes. In the Destroyer's steps there spring up bright creatures that defy his power, and his dark path becomes a light to heaven.

Thank you, Father. I am not connected to St. F de S, but it must be dreadful for all the schoolchildren, and especially the mother of the child who died yesterday.
God never abandons us. He is with us always, especially when we suffer. I think He has a special place in His heart for mothers who see their children die, knowing how Our Lady suffered at Calvary.
Susan, ofs
Thank you Father. You are a good priest.
