Hope and love put to the test!

“With God’s permission…hope and love are put to the test.”  — St. Faustina

During one of our home visits at the family mission in Avondale, PA., we spent time with a young mom with cancer. Her head was completely bald, she lived in a trailer park with no air conditioning, but she had a radiant glow in her face. She was upbeat and grateful to God for recently allowing her to have a baby in spite of many risks, and during our brief stay her focus was on serving us and making sure that we were comfortable…those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!
