@GeskaLima - Rest in peace, dear Gercione

If you've been on Twitter and you're Catholic you will no doubt have come across @GeskaLima. She prayed for us, she was a woman of joy even in her suffering. Gercione has now gone home to the Lord having past on just a few hours ago of cancer here in Toronto.

"May the angels lead you into paradise dear Gercione; may the martyrs receive you at your arrival and lead you to the holy city Jerusalem. May choirs of angels receive you and with Lazarus, once a poor man and may you have eternal rest."

Geska Lima needs our help

If you have been on Twitter, you've probably come across this lady.



You will know that in the darkness of Twitter, Geska brings a little light and joy. Her prayers and little vignettes and natural settings are delightful and heart-warming. I have no doubt that you'll agree with me that Geska is a shining example of a Catholic lady and puts most of us to shame. I know that I could be more like her. We could and should all, be a little more like Geska. My wife and I don't know her well outside of Twitter, but we have met at St. Mary's Davenport Road in Toronto after various Masses and have had nice chats.

You will also know that Geska has been fighting a battle with cancer. At this point, I will sign-off and let Geska speak. As for the links, well, at posting, it is at $3075.00. Many of us have been able to continue to work during this Wuhan China Virus pandemic. We've saved money on gasoline and lunches out at work. We've not contributed to the collection plate. What if we took a little bit of that and sent it to Geska. 

I bet we could break $10,000 before the end of Pentecost Sunday.
