If you could please spare a prayer, I am at a family funeral this weekend. As we gather to grieve the loss of a loved one, I am reminded how moments like this are at once filled with sorrow, and with tremendous grace. In the transitions of life, we also experience moments of great potential for God’s perfect will to unfold in our lives. I have few words to express this, but the words of Pope Francis’ tweet — shared below — ring with truth in my heart today.

As always, I’m grateful to John Clem, O.F.S. for compiling our Sweet Tweets:
