An angel has left this Earth

A dear friend left this world this week. It has hit me (and many others) quite hard.

Sheila was a very spiritual person, and frequently turned to St. Therese ("The Little Flower") for support. I have been seeking solace in St. Therese these past few days and learned more information about St. Therese. St. Therese was canonized as a saint by Pope Pius XI in 1925. He then declared that St. Therese would be co-patroness of the Missions (along with St. Francis Xavier) on December 14, 1927.

I like to think that St. Therese called on Sheila on December 14.
