Whether the sun is shining or dark clouds hover above us, we must never fade. In the face of love or the face of hatred, we must never shrink. The world needs to change, but we who remain in Him must never change. http://gawker.com/report-dylann-roof-told-cops-he-almost-didn-t-go-throu-1712507964

Everyday Stewardship / Feast of Body and Blood of Jesus Christ (Corpus Christi)
While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which…
