Like many of you, my heart has been aching since the death of Saint Annian Jay Wiederholt earlier this week. So many have checked in to express your sorrow and to offer Jay's family your prayers. Your care and kindness is so wonderful. Thank you. 

In honor of Jay, I commend to our attention:

Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who walk the way with us. So be swift to love. Make haste to be kind. The God of peace and compassion, the God who knows no death but only life abundant, will go with you.
