“Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself, and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.  Living for others is a rule of nature.  We are all born to help each other.  No matter how difficult it is…. Life is good when you are happy; but much better when others are happy because of you.”                -Pope Francis

Join us in celebration of the legacy of Pope Francis by reading his exhortation “Laudate Deum”, his call to care for the poor and for our common home.  We will meet in the Family Life Center on Wednesday, May 14th, from 3:00-4:30 and for those who work, after 5:30 mass from 6:00-7:30.  Call or email Kathy Christensen to register at 904-504-2422 or moederk@aol.com.
