“No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or puts it under a bed…take care then how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away.” Luke 8:16,18. Pope St. John Paul II said, “God made us for joy. God is joy, and the joy of living reflects the original joy that God felt in creating us.” Let us pray, Father, You give us faith and joy in Your word to be shared with all around us.  Help us increase in love and faith by giving it away in how we live, in active love for others. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
