Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
As we continue honoring elders during our Social Justice Week, let us reflect on this verse from Paul’s Letter to Timothy:
“Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers, the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.” 1 Timothy 5:1-2
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
