It is my fervent prayer that Our Father,God, comforts and keeps you during these difficult days ahead. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. But where is that place called "morning"? How do I get there? Dear Lord, lead and guide me. Hold fast, take one step at a time, and one day at a time; you will surely get there. God bless each of you.
