KIDS CORNER

Here in this calm and quiet place

I can just sit and stay

To think my thoughts and say my prayers

As daylight slips away.

I look to where earth touches the sky

And hope that I will see

Beyond the edges of this world

To where God waits for me.

THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK

The Little Black Books for the season of Lent are once more available in the foyer before and after Mass. They make a wonderful companion as we

journey through the Lenten season. One page gives us a variety of quotes, information and timely

thoughts, the other page walks us through Luke's passion narrative, a few verses at a

time, with explanations and reflections along the way. Six minutes is all we need in reading and

meditation, spending a little time with the Lord.

At only $4-00 a great investment.
