Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices. Amen.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
