WE MUST TRUST IN GOD TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY. THIS LESSON HAS TO BE LEARNED. OUR DOUBTS AND FEARS CONTINUALLY DRIVE US BACK INTO THE WILDERNESS. DOUBTS LEAD US ASTRAY, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT TRUSTING IN GOD. WE MUST TRUST GOD’S LOVE. IT WILL NEVER FAIL US, BUT WE MUST LEARN NOT TO FAIL IT BY OUR DOUBTS AND FEARS. WE ALL HAVE MUCH TO LEARN IN TURNING OUT FEAR BY FAITH. ALL OUR DOUBTS ARREST GOD’S WORK THROUGH US. WE MUST NOT DOUBT. WE MUST BELIEVE IN GOD AND CONTINUALLY WORK AT STRENGTHENING OUR FAITH.
In lieu of flowers, a mass given in her name at the Catholic Church of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
