Faith over Fear

 "One must make a decision to "be with Jesus." "I chose Him." Chiara Luce had taken up the "holy journey" in total freedom." 15 Days of Prayer with Blessed Chiara Badano   

Today we celebrated the life of Molly at her funeral. 

She made life beautiful.

She gave people joy with that sparkle in her eyes and through her smile. 

Molly, you did everything with your whole heart. 

You chose to do your best. 

You chose faith over fear.

"This is faith: allowing ourselves to be directed for a moment in order to set out in the right direction." 15 Days of Prayer with Blessed Chiara Badano  

Molly was known for giving directions. 

She loved helping people.  

"With her faith and obedience Jesus' words ("you did it to me"), Chiara received a light that was not of this world: That I would have lost if you had not insisted [that if I had not listened to you]?"15 Days of Prayer with Blessed Chiara Badano   

Molly, help me to do my best.

To do everything with my whole heart on this holy journey.  

Help me to be a light.

 Happy are those whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion. Psalm 84:5 

 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11
