On behalf of my Dad (Jerome), brothers Jim and Joe, and my Aunt Joan, I want to express gratitude to all who wrote notes of condolence on social media, sent letters of support and arranged to have Masses offered for the peaceful repose of my mother’s soul. We received an overwhelming amount of love and support. My mother would be amazed that bishops and priests are celebrating Masses for her all over the country and in Rome. Thank you to all!
We will keep our eyes fixed on heaven. Let us reflect on what St. Teresa of Avila once said: “Of the many joys that are found in the kingdom of heaven, the greatest seems to me to be the sense of tranquility and well-being that we shall experience when we are free from all concern for earthly things. Glad because others are glad and forever at peace, we shall have the deep satisfaction of seeing that by all creatures the Lord is honored and praised, and his name blessed. No one ever offends him, for there everyone loves him.”
Peace,
+Bishop Walsh
