Justice for the poor, human beings and nature will respect each other, and the bestowing of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit upon the descendant of Jesse: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety and Fear of the Lord which are then bequeathed to us at Baptism and Confirmation. It takes childlike faith to see the preciousness of these gifts. Thank you Bob for reminding us of the richness of God’s presence. God bless.

In seeing the butterfly, the flowering vine or the stars at night we see beauty and peace instead of anger and spite. The heart rejoices with these childlike views. Thank you for reminding me to see as a child and to see the way of the Lord.
