It was sad to attend a funeral mass today for a kind, gentle, little old lady from our neighborhood.
Born to a 14 year-old single mom in the 1920s she spent the first 18 years of her life in a state home. Literally lived her entire life with no “blood” family connections. You would have expected her funeral to be empty with maybe 4-5 people.
Over 100 people showed up today to celebrate her spirit. It was incredible to hear how many people were inspired and genuinely blessed to have known her.
Here is a prayer that little Catherine lived each day….
God, I pray that my mind is filled with peace and my heart is overflowed with love.
