― In Paradisum
Earlier
today, I received an e-mail from a woman who is part of a retreat group in
which I participate. She wrote to tell
the members of our group that a woman who had served in retreats with us was
losing her battle with cancer, and asked for our prayers. Various members of the group responded that
they were praying. Another friend called
me to share her surprise and sadness at the news. I have no doubt that all of us who received
that e-mail today said prayers. I prayed
for the courageous woman who served with us on retreat last May and gave thanks
for having known her. There was comfort
and kindness in the shared prayers of the group.
