Seeing Gospel Messages Everywhere We Go!

Dear Family of Love!

I hope everyone is having a Wonderful and Wonder-Filled Wednesday ! Last evening we talked about telling our own Bible stories. What have you learned about yourself? Is there some new epiphany you have experienced? Hold on to those questions as we talk about seeing Gospel Messages Everywhere we go. Today I saw this visual Gospel message:

God gives us each day these Gospel messages if only we have the courage to look and open our hearts.  This picture is of one of our family member's homes! This may not be what we call a home but the person who sought refuge here did. Walk With Me On Our Journey since its inception has been committed to opening our eyes to the living Gospel messages through pix on my prayer walks here are a few to remember:

See these are a few of the Gospel images found on our walks together. Let's see when you go on your walks or are out and about how many Gospel messages you can find. 

Tonight dear ones let us begin our Virtual Candlelight Prayer Vigil and light our candles and pray for the least of these our family members and pray that we may lovingly respond to the Gospel messages we see everywhere we go. We pray that we may be CALM (Compassionate, Accepting, Loving, and Merciful).


“Be the heart of a network of global citizens

Be a bridge for dialogue between civilizations

Be a beacon lighting the way to a century 

of life”
