I know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart,
although He spoke no word.

I didn't ask for weath or fame;
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked Him to send treasures
of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that He'd be near you
at the start of each new day,
to grant you health and blessings,
and friends to share the way.

I asked for happiness for you
in all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all.

You are being remembered in a Mass at the
National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows.

A Votive Candle will also be
lit for you at the Shrine.
