"Casimir Pulaski Day"

Just a four days ago Sara threw a baby shower for a parishioner of a non-profit we support.

They laughed, they played games, they rejoiced, they smiled.

Two days ago the parishioner lost her baby.

We cried. We mourn. We pray.

I don't pretend to fully understand the theological implications of death or bad things happening to good people.

But I do understand the need for comfort. For strength. For healing. For mercy. For grace.
