Welcome, brothers and sisters in Christ, as we gather for
Praise, Prayer, Word and Worship!
Give me a soul that knows not boredom, grumblings, sighs and laments, nor excess of stress, because that obstructing thing called ‘I.’
Grant me, O Lord, a sense of good humor. Allow me the grace to be able to take a joke to discover in life a bit of joy,
and to be able to share it with others.”
St. Thomas More<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2nd Sunday of Easter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.\u201d 1 John 4:9 ————————————————-
