For today we must translate the precepts of the Scriptures into deeds; instead of speaking saintly words, we must act them.” HelpingTodayWealthCitiesStudyDutyOne DayDaughterSlaveCharityDeedsNobleScriptureWanderServantGrievingShoreTranslateEgyptDistinguishedCommentaryBethlehemBeggaryEzekiel Author:St. Jerome

I promise you that as you read, your minds will be enlightened and your spirits will be lifted. At first it may seem tedious, but that will change into a wondrous experience with thoughts and words of things divine. Gordon B.
