Remember an experience of fear and the gentle care of those who took you beyond it, or a time of doubt and the reassurance that helped you overcome it?  In the end the peace and consolation was marvellous.  So many signs and wonders are worked in ordinary and simple ways everyday, reflecting peoples’ generous spirit.  The benign word, the helping hand, the prudent gestures are unique gifts to give or receive.  With grateful hearts we cherish the never-ending nature of God’s love, which enables us to pacify and console the fears and doubts of our hearts.
