God's Loom

In November 2016, I was invited to give a witness testimony during Mass about my faith journey.  I recently watched this video again and couldn't help but feel how relevant it still is - and I think always will be.  Take it to heart!  We are all in this together woven into one beautiful tapestry!

“I have come to believe that we do not walk alone in this life.  
There are others, fellow sojourners, whose journeys are interwoven with ours in 
seemingly random patterns, yet, in the end, 
have been carefully placed to reveal a remarkable tapestry. 
I believe God is the weaver at that loom.”
-Richard Paul Evans



Blessings to you all!

We Are The Church

Because it simply bears repeating . . .

"The Church has the right, indeed the duty, to proclaim justice on the social, national and international level, and to denounce instances of injustice, when the fundamental rights of man and his very salvation demand it. The Church . . . has a proper and specific responsibility which is identified with her mission of giving witness before the world of the need for love and justice contained in the Gospel message, a witness to be carried out in Church institutions themselves and in the lives of Christians."
