RESURRECTION....Easter is for everyone!
Many of you already know that I lost my Mother Marian a few weeks ago. I know that you know because I had the pleasure of seeing you at either the wake or the funeral. My mom would have been amazed at the number of people who showed up. It was as if a great dignitary had passed. My mother was 82 years old...exactly! You see she died on her 82nd birthday. In the Catholic Church we celebrate Patron Saints Days, which is actually a celebration of the day of their death, not their birth. The reason for this is because we are actually not celebrating death, but rather rebirth in heaven. My mother was reborn into her eternal life on the same day she was born into her mortal life 82 years ago. I have no idea what the chances of that happening really are, or if there is any hidden significance to it, but if you knew my mother you would say that it was so that we would always remember the day she died. My mom was big on family, tradition, and her majestic role as a mother. Need
