Jesus, in His humanity, wept at the death of a saint. The angels, in their holiness, rejoice at the death of a saint. We, in our humanity, taste the bitterness of loss draped with the sweet perfume of salvation. Now, we see through the glass dimly… then we shall see Him clearly, suffused with His blinding light of endless love for those He calls His own. Please sign the online registry at www.hartsmort.com.
