An encounter with Ezekiel: Cathy and Darlly got married last year. Cathy had a difficult pregnancy which forced her to deliver the baby prematurely. The couple named their firstborn Ezekiel. He only lived for fifteen days. In the mass that I celebrated for the family, I feel how the couple including the grandmother grieved the lost of Ezekiel! But I told them: Never lose hope! Believe in Gods plan! He will strengthen you in this moment of grief and weakness!!! I was surprised to discover that the name Ezekiel comes from Hebrew name (Yechezqel) meaning God strengthens. Ezekiel is a major prophet of the Old Testament, the author of the Book of Ezekiel. He lived in Jerusalem until the Babylonian conquest and captivity of Israel, at which time he was taken to Babylon. The Book of Ezekiel describes his vivid symbolic visions that predict the restoration of the kingdom of Israel.
