Then there was her friend who went to the Holy Land with her. They both wanted to get the cross tattoo on their wrist. As all the pilgrims waited in line, this particular friend was held back by her husband. He didn’t feel it was appropriate for a woman to get a tattoo. My mother talked to him in charity and in peace and explained how important it was to his wife to have the tattoo as a symbol and memory of their pilgrimage. She convinced him. At funerals and masses, she was often asked to lead the rosary and other prayers. People were moved by the conviction, love, mercy and passion in her voice. She visited the sick in their homes, in hospitals, in nursing homes or wherever she found out they were. My uncle and oldest brother encouraged my mother to learn to drive and learn the language – to become independent. At their encouragement, she was receptive. The priest would often see up to eight women getting out of her car after picking each one up individually to attend daily mass. They didn’t drive. Rarely did she enter a home without food in her hand. Always giving. Always sharing. When we looked through her prayer books, we discovered funeral cards of countless people whom she prayed for daily. In light of all these corporal and spiritual works of mercy, her vocation as a mother always came first. The love from her heart radiated in her perpetual smile. She brought us up to live in virtue, love and mercy. She valued Catholic education. She was deeply devoted to her husband, her children, her in-laws, her friends, and to the church. These are simply glimpses into Naima’s beautiful life. She received all her power from the Holy Spirit of our Lord, Jesus Christ. He equipped her with the charisms of mercy, faith, counsel, wisdom, teaching, communication, hospitality, evangelism, helps and encouragement to accomplish His work in the world. Naima leaves a rich, glorious legacy that was forever rooted and unfolded in love and humility. Iklas J. Bahoura-Bashi, LPC, NCC, is a writer, speaker and life coach.
