Before returning to the more serious work reflecting on the Pope’s Apostolic  Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, I thought I’d post something just for fun.  But it’s also something of the great joy of serving God’s people as a deacon.

This morning, after our 9:00 AM Mass, a very shy little girl approached me with her grandmother.  With Grandma encouraging her, she handed over the attached sketch.  It is such a wonderful, joyful gift!  She captured the Book of the Gospels, the smiles, everything!  Thank you, Melody!
