Saint Adele Marie, pray for us.

Sweet Adele Marie has gone to her eternal reward. This tiny life touched so many and spoke so powerfully of the love of God. Every life is worthwhile. Every baby is a blessing to be cherished. Please keep the Ritter family and their intentions in your prayers. Please also ask Adele to intercede on your behalf. As her Papa said, there's no way Jesus could say no to that sweet face.

(On the joyous day of Adele's confirmation)
Thank you, Ritter family, for being such a blessing to all of us who know you.

This family joyfully welcomed their newest member knowing that the world would view their perfect baby as "broken". They shared their joy and their suffering with us all. Their walk with Christ through His passion, death and, ultimately, His Resurrection. We are confident that sweet baby Adele, with the grace of her baptism and confirmation, is enjoying the glory of the Beatific Vision. She has taken her place in the Heavenly Kingdom and will be continually unpacking her 2 suitcases of intentions at the feet of Jesus. The Ritters are an extraordinary family and I thank God for them.
