Eternal Rest Grant Unto Her Oh Lord ...

There was an article in our school paper last week about the flu epidemic on our campus. It was somewhat tongue-n-cheek and mentioned how many classes were half empty and the Kroger decongestant shelf was completely empty. The pharmacist even said that FUS students bought them plum out of meds.

Amanda Pudvah, a senior was planning to attend a retreat this weekend but said in her Facebook status update that she wasn't going because her back and ribs were sore and she had a terrible cough...would we please pray for a speedy recovery. Sunday she woke up vomiting blood and died from complications due to pneumonia later that afternoon.

She is now more fully recovered than if she had returned to her dorm. As believers we have that hope and so we do not despair. We are consoled.

But...

death is still so wrong.

Please pray for Amanda and for the consolation of her family and friends. (even you non-Catholics)

...and let perpetual light shine upon her.
