2: The passing of the Greatest Holy Leaf, so ...
| |
1 |
The passing of the Greatest Holy Leaf, so cruel in the feelings of unalterable grief that it has
evoked, is, indeed, a tremendous loss to us all and
particularly to our Guardian. Her presence among
us was such a source of inspiration and joy that we
cannot too deeply grieve the immensity of our loss.
She was a real mother to every one of us, a comforter
in our pains and anxieties, and a friend in our
moments of utter loneliness and despair. But alas!
We failed to appreciate adequately what her
presence among us meant and it is only now, when
she has gone for ever, that we come to realize the
irreparable character of our loss.

And yet, however deep our consciousness of her
unexpected removal from our midst may be, we
cannot but feel certain that from her heavenly retreat
she is continually showering her blessings upon
everyone of us and is interceding on our behalf so
that we may recover our energies and unanimously
arise and dedicate our lives to the service of her
Father's glorious Cause.

Her memory will, assuredly, continue to inspire
us for many, many long years and will prove, when
the hour of adversity is at its darkest, to be our best
sustainer.

May her glorious spirit inspire us with faith and
hope, steel our energies and enable us to make every
sacrifice in the path lighted by her saintly and
eventful life.
