If someone close to you is grieving the loss of a loved one, I invite you to send them our new Memorial Remembrance Card, and send me the name of the departed person so he or she can be remembered in the prayers and daily Mass here at the Shrine for one year. Mary’s image on the card inspires us to realize that she stands by us in our sorrow just as she stood by Jesus as he died for us on the cross. You might also want to burn a Votive Light for your departed loved one. Read more about the love and comfort Jesus and his Blessed Mother have for us in Fr. Kevin’s letter.
