Stood the mournful mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last.
Through her heart, his sorrow sharing,
All his bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length the sword has passed."
(Stabat Mater)
I have been very saddened by the earthquakes and tsunami that have occurred in Japan. My heart goes out to all those souls who have died. To all those families who have lost all they had, who have lost family and friends.
And while you need not weep for the faithful departed, as they now or soon will look upon the face of God, a great sorrow should be present for those who died without returning to Our Lord. One can only imagine the horrors they now face.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
