This type of loving care for the dying renews my hope for the Catholic Church.  We hear so many, many failures of love on the part of the church, especially in respect of clergy abuse, that I become disheartened and disgusted with the whole edifice.  I read the venom and hatred towards Pope Francis on the trads websites, and I read of and experience the narcissistic clericalism of the hierarchy.  It seems the Catholic Church is in its death throes on many fronts, but these small seeds like Samaritan House generates hope that following the way of Jesus is still happening.  Lord, let these small endeavors grow and blossom and  multiply.  They are the lights in the darkness.
