Matthew 5:3, 6, 9
“Blessed are the poor in spirit…
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice…
Blessed are the peacemakers…”

These were Sister Dorothy’s last words as she blessed her murderers. Even today, this cousin I never met invites me into the kingdom.
Sister commented, “There are things you do because they feel right and they make no sense and they make no money and it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other and to eat each other’s cooking and to say it was good.”
