BECOMING AWARE OF GOD’S PRESENCEBECOMING AWARE OF GOD’S PRESENCEBECOMING AWARE OF GOD’S PRESENCEBECOMING AWARE OF GOD’S PRESENCE
(Please silence electronic devices.)
I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will
match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom,
its power with our purpose.
John F. Kennedy
Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
Henry David Thoreau
People say, ‘“What good can one person do? What is the sense of our small
effort?’ They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time.
We can be responsible only for the one action of the present moment.
But we can beg for an increase of love in our hearts that will vitalize and transform
all our individual actions, and know that God will take them and multiply them,
as Jesus multiplied the loaves and the fishes.
Dorothy Day
