Washington Irving Quote

There is a sacredness in tears.

They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.

They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues.

They are messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition

and of unspeakable loss.

PTSD

• “ It is discouraging to see a strong capable, beautiful, sensitive, innocent, patriotic human being become a human being who is always fearful, unsure of herself, plagues by nightmares, emotionally unstable, isolated and distrustful of the government, military and of all people in general.”

Wedding Cup Ministry for Newly Weds

Dear Newly Weds, This custom has been passed down through the years and St. Tom’s Never Alone Ministry would like to pass it on to you. Years ago, a wedding couple received a goblet on their wedding day with this message: When you have argued with each other and the end of the day is at hand, fill the goblet with a beverage, swallow your pride as you drink and remember the love that you share. Fill the goblet with the favorite beverage of your spouse and bring it to him or her. Offer the goblet. Each of you take a drink and experience the washing away of the anger in your heart. Always end your day with forgiveness. Keep love in your heart for each other and for God who makes all things possible. Drink to His love and the blessings He bestows on you. Never let the sun set on your anger toward each other. God bless your marriage and may you always have love in your heart, St. Tom’s Never Alone Ministry Be angry but do not sin. Do not let the sun go down upon your anger. Ephesians 4:26
