A Thought:
The church has lighted my way. Instead of struggling through a
wilderness I have a road-a road to virtue and truth. Only a road-the
road to an end, not the end itself-the road to truth, not the fullness
of truth itself.... In one word, she as taught me how to seek God.
- Maude Dominica Petre
Catholic intellectual (1863-1942)

Let Us
Pray Together...
God, you are our protector and guide. No matter how frightened we
are, send us your Holy Spirit that we might function out of hope and
joy, not fear.
Amen. |
