Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God

Scott, my sister, and I went to the chapel just now to pray for Mary. I was looking around and my eyes landed on the stained glass with the 6th Beatitude on it. I immediately felt a peace wash over me. I know that Mary is seeing God right now! I can see this time in the operating room as a gift to her. God is making himself real to her in a way that many of us may never know. This is much harder than I expected, and also not nearly as terrible as I feared.
