Since Ruth became homebound and unable to attend Mass, I was privileged to bring the Body of Christ to her. She mentioned many times how humbled she was that Jesus would come to her home. We spoke often about this world not being our home and we were just passing through until Jesus calls us and now Jesus has called Ruth to be with Him.
