Praying Over a Hysterical Woman

During Mass, a woman walked in and went up to an image of Our Lady.  She was crying really uncontrollably.

I approached her, identified myself as a deacon, extended my hand to pray over her, and I gave a blessing.  At first, she seemed beside herself.

After saying a prayer out loud, I then went back to my pew with my family.

During the Liturgy of the Eucharist, she returned and came up to me.  She hugged me for a while while trying to explain something.  I heard her say something about her son, but everything else was muffled.

I gave her a rosary which I usually carry in my pocket.  My blessed her again with the Sign of the Cross over her face.  She closed her eyes.

Then she left.
