What a selfless, beautiful spirit I found in Father JJ.
Because of the recent news that my husband may only have a few days or weeks I was anxious to get a priest over to give him a blessing. I did get a number from my social worker because it seems father Norman is so busy.
I called this number and ask Father JJ if he minded giving my husband a blessing. He was the warmest kindest man. He said he would come over after mass, so he did get here
about 8 in the evening.
The blessing he gave was beautiful and to both of us – as he walked through the door, he caressed my face and said.
“You have such a beautiful house, but you know what? Your husband is going to be going to a much more beautiful place. He will not be in pain anymore, and he will see his loved ones and have a joyous reunion.
And guess what? You will be going to that beautiful place where you will find peace, and reunite with him one day. “
He then asked if it were possible he would like to be at the mass when my husband transitions.
What an amazing Priest – he rushed over and didn’t know me from Adam, in the night.
Thank You Father JJ…
wanted to spend the time down here. Then my son wanted to bring his family down as well so I had all 6 little grand kids here. Noah is the oldest.
Seriously – I still cannot cry I think if I could it would really help.
