BUSINESS Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things. --Robert Louis Stevenson Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time The prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds; it does not rest until it reaches its goal, nor will it withdraw till the Most High responds. -- Sirach 35:17-18a
