Speaking to the religious in attendance, he said, “You bring light to young adults and teens who are trying to find meaning in their lives in a world that is increasingly confusing and oppressing. You bring light to the children in our schools, and to their fam- ilies. You bring light by the ministry of hospitali- ty, service and care by receiving those who need a place to stay or who are ill. “You bring light to senior citizens living among us, especially those who are most in need. You bring light in the darkness to those in prison, to the poor, the sick, to the immigrant, to those who are struggling, to preschoolers. It’s through these apostolic works that you are bringing the light of Jesus Christ to shatter the darkness.” Catholic Times 10 ♥ ♥ ♥ national marriage week ♥ ♥ ♥ February 9, 2020 Salvation history is also marriage story By Stephanie Rapp their lives to each other strikes a chord holding nothing back, even in each of us as we wish them the best His own life.
