for you are my God, you are the one who feeds me with the everlasting bread of life. I love Sunday mornings, there is something sacred and beautiful about them. Sunday is a day of romance, it is the day where I fall deeper in love with my Savior, and it is the day he [...]


Ave Maria

20Sep09

This evening at mass I took the body of Christ in my hands and I realized how blessed I am to be able to receive him without fear of harm to myself or my family.  I was remarking to a friend that it is sad that I can go to mass [...]
