A THOUGHT
Faith is to believe what we do not see and the reward of faith is to see what we believed.
ST PATRICK’S BLESSING
May the strength of God guide us
May the power of God preserve us
May the wisdom of God instruct us
May the hand of God protect us
May the way of God direct us
May the shield of God defend us
May the angels of God guard us against the snares of the evil one.
HAPPY
ST PATRICK’S DAY TO ALL
