Wish I could meet you in person to hear this story and lots of others I've read about on your blog in person.:)<br /><br />I am thankful God used the Holy Father so beautifully to "get" to you. He wants our hearts so much! What an awesome story, oh my goodness. I am hormonal today and I apparently needed the top half of my Easter bunny and this blog post to get those nice cathartic tears out, and now I'm feeling much better. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049881901060032202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-5309788528960015292015-04-04T06:08:47.883-06:002015-04-04T06:08:47.883-06:00Beautiful.

Perhaps you could turn your anger and sadness heavenward and pray that through his intercession the scourge of child and teen abuse by homosexual predators and pedophiles alike would be ended and that God's justice would deal with the perpetrators.

A year later on the Eve of Divine Mercy Sunday in 2006, I was getting confirmed. I really believe that he was an immediate intercessor for young people, especially those who really needed help and mercy (like myself). I didn't realize until this year that he died on the same "liturgical day" as I was confirmed one year later.

I think of that blessing often and pray for his intercession in the healing of my infertility.

I too distinctly remember keeping the television vigil a decade ago - I was a bit younger - a freshman in high school, and it was the first time I felt that emotional pull of the Church at my heartstrings. I also got very good at ignoring that pull for a long time in college, but the heart remembers even when we forget.<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing.brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540829704914848803noreply@blogger.com
