Brethren, please join me in a moment of Prayer for God’s own Kayla Mueller; “who remained Faithful, Robust, and Courageous in the Face of Death.”[1] Today’s Journal headliner captivated Condolence and Awakened many to the reality of Extremists. The young Humanitarian became yet another Causality of Pointless incarceration.

Imagine the frustration of God, who surrounded by Angels and Saints recites; to whom shall we Listen if not those who remain faithful to the end? In Kayla’s own words we are reminded, “Please be patient, give your Pains to God.” In-Loving-Memory of our Lord’s Daughter-of-Hope who’s “All My Everything”[1] is today inscribed into Memory across the World.”

“As evil contrasts with good, and death with life, so are sinners in contrast with the godly. See now all the works of the Most High: they come in pairs, one the opposite of the other. Now I am the last to keep vigil, like a gleaner following the grape-pickers;

Since by the Lord’s blessing I have made progress till like a grape-picker I have filled my wine press, Consider that not for myself only have I labored, but for all who seek instruction.” (Sirach 33:14-18 NABRE)

Might the parents of Kayla find Peace through their loved ones Sacrifice. I cannot phantom the Depths of their Grief, nor the Strength of their Faith, but what remains is a daughters Love for Humanity.
