Visible Expression

The ecclesial community, while always having a universal dimension, finds its most immediate and visible expression in the parish. It is there that the Church is seen locally. In a certain sense it is...

"... the Church living in the midst of the homes of her sons and daughters..."

Pope John Paul II

Quatant Ore



WATCHING...

Deep within the flickering silence
of lighted candles
I WATCHED
as sunbeams filtered
through stained-glass windows
showering the altar with rainbowed light...

At that same moment,
in the quiet of my soul space,
I felt the presence of GOD
as graces poured into my heart
to make new the promises HE had kept.
