Shocking, and Very Sad.

Preeminent Catholic writer and blogger Amy Welborn's husband passed away suddenly. I had the opportunity to meet Amy a few years ago, and she is really nice and down-to-earth. I can't imagine what she's going through right now. Her husband wrote a lot of good books concerning the Catholic faith--one of my favorites is meditations for Eucharistic adoration revolving around Bishop Fulton Sheen's writing--so it is my hope and prayer that he is welcomed into Heaven for having served the Lord very well.

Please pray for Amy and the family (the two youngest kids are little guys still), and do check out Michael Dubruiel's work if you're inclined.

This kind of news just makes my heart hurt.
