"LORD, I DO BELIEVE, HELP MY UNBELIEF"

13/2/2021

 
Catholics and our fellow Christians often consider that in the fall of death they should have greater faith and not be racked with doubts, anxieties and questions. We are all different. Sometimes the death of a love one can bring consolation and peace, but at other times we can be surprised at how traumatised we are by the whole experience. It is important to know that such feelings are normal and just to be able to talk them through with someone else can bring peace and consolation.
At Saint Teresa's we will always do our best to support you. We will make every effort to help plan the best possible funeral liturgy - to give your love one, your friend, the beauty and prayerfulness of the Holy Mass. With our prayers and the Rite of the Funeral Mass we commend their soul to Almighty God. Heaven is about a family reunion and heaven is not on another planet or in another solar system - it's on our doorstep. The souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God. They have fought the good fight; they have done their best while they lived here on earth. We seek clemency for their sins from the Lord of Divine Mercy. If they go into the Mist of Mercy they go with our prayers and the prayer of the Holy Mass in every language around the world.
It's not easy coping with death but the Lord did say and promise "Blessed are those who mourn, they shall be comforted". He also said:
"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God still and TRUST IN ME.

There are many rooms in My Father's house;
if there were not, I should have told you.
I am going now to prepare a place for you,
and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you with Me; so that where I am, YOU MAY BE TOO". Jn 14:1-3
