4 Many Blessings... Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4 A friend s sister recently died tragically. He told me, My heart is breaking. Several years earlier, he had also lost his daughter in a car accident. I cried with him and for him then too. Now I pray that he processes his grief so his heart can start to mend with the warm memories of his wonderful sister. I believe the Lord wraps His comforting and loving arms around those who grieve. We just have to trust in Him. We all have our own grief to bear when our hearts and spirits are challenged with the pain we suffer from loss. We have to remember it s okay to cry, it s okay to ask God why, and it s okay to talk to someone about it. We need to go through the stages of grief and sometimes they are like a tide, with an ebb and a flow. When we feel that shock and denial, it s because our hearts can t seem to fathom that loss has really happened. We begin to get angry and ask why? This sadness washes over us like strong waves in the ocean, trying to overwhelm and overcome us, but we break free, and we accept what happened, and we find our way to emotionally move on. How do we do this? Having God and prayer to comfort and support us is like wearing a life vest and a having a lifeguard watch over us. We have grief groups at St. Ann and in the community to help us work through our emotional chaos and come to terms with our grief. We have prayer groups at St. Ann that will pray for us. If you know someone who needs our prayers, please call us at the office or write your intentions for us to bring to the altar during Mass. It is difficult to deal with tragedies and losses in our lives, but with support and love, the burden can be lessened. Reach out to those who are suffering. You who are suffering, reach out to those who care. Lean on God and allow Him to help you ease the pain of your broken heart. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
