The wife of one of our Gary Diocese Deacons passed away suddenly and unexpectedly this past Saturday morning. The woman had a very deep spirituality, and her sudden passing was a shock to those of us who knew her.

Many of us will not know the day that we will be called to meet our loving Lord in heaven.

The question that came to my mind after hearing and thinking about death is this: “How prepared am I?” Perhaps each of us should ask ourselves the same question… “How prepared are we?”

May God give each of us the grace to always be ready and, with the time we have, let us do our best to follow Jesus’ teachings, to love God, and to love each other.

May God grant the dear woman who died eternal rest. She will be missed.
