50 Little Things #44--Mass of Healing

It's been a tough year of my friends.  Two of my friends and a cousin are going through breast cancer treatment.  Another friend just found out she has serious liver cancer.  I am thankful for my health and for my family's health.  I am also thankful that I belong to a community that pulls together.  Today we had a prayer service after mass for those who are very sick with cancer.  I was on the emotional edge most of the day (the seriousness of two of the women's prognosis set it), but the comfort knowing the Lord will hold our hands even through the tough times brought consolation.
