May 11, 2016

Our deepest condolences and prayers offered for Michele & her Family, as I just head the news, she has departed from this world. "Eternal Father, I offer Thee Thy Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those within my own home and within my family.

"O Blood & Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, Jesus, I trust in you, Jesus I trust in you, Jesus I trust in you! Amen! (Saint Maria Faustina, Diary 1319)Amen!"

"I am grateful for being able to hug you to say goodbye, the last time I saw you standing in front of my house", Roberta, Dennis & Kevin Jaburek
