     “Always forward, never back.”– St. Junipero Serra

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Physical condition or advancing of age are not obstacles to a perfect life. God does not look at external things but at the soul.” St. John Paul II

    Our last 3 Popes have given us a tremendous example of a whole hearted commitment to serving Christ and others, deep into their “advancing ages.”  It is never too late, and you are never too old to love God and others!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

   We live in a society that values good looks, quit wit, charisma and charm.  Before you put someone “in a box”, try to learn a little more about their personal background, their temperament, and most importantly, their heart.

God bless,
