Thank you Lord Jesus for your Church.  This "bride of Christ" is saving my life now and will hopefully save the lives of many others in the future – more importantly than their lives, save their souls.  Yesterday might visit to Father Torres was most peaceful and fruitful.  In addition to having a general confession, I was able to receive the Sacrament of the Sick.  God only knows whether this will heal more than my soul, but it is only the soul that it is really important.  I'm so grateful for the Faith that my parents instilled in me and that the Church has preserved it for thousands of years.  At times my emotions are high or low, but my trust in Jesus is there.  Right now I'm still feeling reasonably healthy.  Jesus please be with me as health wanes and fear begins to abound.  However, I am still so grateful for the loving family and friends that are surrounding me now, and the wonderful Health Care environment that we have in the United States.  Seeing that I am among the truly privileged, just makes me more grateful for the life I have had and the relative peace with which I can be considering my own death.
