APRIL
We love Spring! It is so unique to not only observe the weather changing from Winter to Spring but also the season of Lent to Easter. They seem to almost mirror each other. Perhaps that’s why the saying, “In like a lion and out like a lamb,” is so very appropriate this time of year. We hope and pray that you all have a safe and joyous Easter filled with celebration of God's infinite love for all of us. May God Bless everyone.
Alleluia! He is Risen.
“Some seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge: that is curiosity.
Others seek knowledge that they themselves be known: that is vanity.
But there are still others who seek knowledge in order to serve and edify others, and that is charity.”
--- St. Bernard of Clairvaux
