Just a few thoughts

·        “It is not the church building which makes us holy; rather it is we who make the church building holy by our presence in it.”  -- from a Gospel reflection

·        We pray for those who feel that they are in a hopeless situation, that through the prayers of St Jude, hope of the hopeless, they may believe, trust and look confidently to the future.  --  Lord, hear us.

·        "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes... including you."  --  Anne Lamott
