Quote, from True Spouse:
To shed an occasional tear at the death of a relative is a pardonable weakness of nature; but immoderate grief proceeds from weakness of spirit and of the love of God. Holy religious also hear of the death of persons most dear to them; but reflecting that God has willed their death, they instantly resign themselves, and go in peace to pray for them. They then make more frequent meditations and Communions, and unite themselves more to God, hoping to go one day to enjoy him in heaven, along with their deceased relatives.
A friend's sister died over the weekend. May Linda rest in peace, and may her sisters find consolation. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Fidelium animae per misericordiam Dei requiescant in pace.
