"And hope does not disappoint us for the love of God has been poured out into our hearts." (Rom. 5:5)

A lark ascending

July 3, 2011 Sr. Dorcee6 Comments

My youngest cousin on my mother’s side passed away yesterday from a brain aneurysm.  She was only 50 years old.  This is the song that comes to mind, a poem without words: A Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

God rest her soul and comfort those who love her.

Welcome to Witnesses to Hope!

"Bring your lamp to those without light, enkindle the flame of love in those without hope." (Tagore) ~from a holy card I picked up in Rome in 2005 . . . I began this blog as a place to share some of the things that have increased my hope during challenging times--with the hope that it may do the same for others as well. I welcome your comments.
