Theme
Being Chosen
God has chosen us and cares for us. The sign of this is that our sins are put away and we are given the gift of the Holy Spirit. This enables us to work with power and do good things. God transforms us to be part of His mystical Body which is His Church.  Focus the Word, Susan Sayers, 1989

Have A Great Week!
