Proclaiming Agape

My grandmother left a mark on the world. She planted the seed of god in me and in her family. She expressed a silent love and lived a life of humble strength.  At her bedside I thanked her for the gift of god. I thanked For standing with me as her church struggled to find a place for me. A church Ionce void of gods peace redeemed.

I come before you to celebrate a life of faith. A love born in Christ and placed in the heart of a humble woman.  strong yet humble, ritchous yet forgiving,  never judging, my gental gram.

In her death I see the face of god. A family praying the rosary filled a hospital with gods spirit and moved it's staff to tears. Tears not found in sorrow but in the  beauty of a family's love a love born in god, agape. God revealed himself as he made soft the heart of her priest, the man that brings my redemption. Redemption found in the love of god expressed by his faithful compassion for me. The redemption God instilled through this priest brings christs undying reconciliation to my life. This I offer to god, May he bless those peacemakers of my soul. Through death shines the light of truth, of gods passion for humanity. In death I have found life, in return I gave my life to God.  Her work continues because her work was of god. I cannot feel loss when the Lord embraces the found. I can't feel pain as my grandmother is lifted from suffering in a dark world. Her light continues to shine in gods name. I find joy in her peace and I praise his name forever.

I stand before you with joy in my heart and peace in my soul. In this time of loss I find the peace of god. I find gods love in the heart of man Agape. Agape a Christian expression of love, a love that feeds the spirit of man.

I pray god remains present in all my grandmother touched. I pray that all those my grandmother worried about find gods peace. I pray god takes hate from our hearts and replaces it with the fire of love. Fill the world with your spirit lord and bring the light of truth and justice to the lost flock of the world. I pray we follow the Sheapard to better pastures. I pray we seek the lost and bring forth the fruits of Christ in the heart of all humanity. I pray we rise from the divide, and sit in love rather than judgment. May god comfort all grieving the loss of his servant. May gram find peace, may she sit in gods love forever. Amen
