Gosh I wish I knew your mom. Have you ever thought of opening a cause for canonization for your mother? I do believe her life would be a saintly inspiration to mothers. I will pray that this happens.

Wow! I’m honored you would suggest such an action. I have no doubt she’s in Heaven, and she certainly has been active in my life, and the lives of my children.

Beautiful testimony! She sounds like a saintly lady indeed. I imagine your parents raised you in the Byzantine church as well?

Yes! I grew up going to, and being an altar server at, Saint Mary of the Assumption in Trenton, NJ. I still attend Liturgy there several times a year.

Thanks Jonathon. I’ve still got a lot of work to do to reach the Kingdom, but my Mom set me on the right path.
