And now I know what the apostles saw on the day we recall next Sunday. Thanks, Deacon Dan.

I actually have the homily next Sunday. Let's see if this works in somehow.

I haven't cried like this since my husband's second surgery after falling off a roof.. When he began to regain consciousness, God was in his eyes. I kissed my husband's fingertips and crept out.
Don't anyone ever give up on goodness. It's still alive and well..
:'-) whew.. beautiful. Devastatingly beautiful love. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this example of a Father's love. The only thing greater is THE FATHER"S LOVE. I was crying so that I could hardly see the screen. Too touching to even try to describe,

I wept.

A truly awesome perspective of my favorite
Christian song. It points me to my experiences of loving my children and grand children.
This reinforces my image of the love between the Father and the Son in the Trinity.
Thanks
