I am very sorry for the loss of your loved one. Please remember that you can always look to God to be a true source of comfort and endurance. Isaiah 12:2 assures us that God can be our salvation, our strength and our might. Do not hesitate to throw your anxities on him, because he cares for you

Brither Martin was one of the first brothers I met when I came to Marist High School in 1989. Brother Martin always had a calmness about him and a willingness to listen.
