But the souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God,
no torment shall ever touch them.
In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die,
their going looked like a disaster,
their leaving us, like annihilation;
But they are in peace.
If they experienced punishment as men see it,
their hope was rich with immortality;
slight was their affliction, great will their blessings be.
God has put them to the test
and proved them worthy to be with him;
He has tested them like gold in the furnace,
and accepted them as a holocaust.
Wisdom3 v 1-6
Happy Birthday Dear Friend and Anam Cara, gone but never forgotten.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and may your perpetual light shine upon her and may she rest in peace. Amen.
