Favorite Work of Mercy: “To forgive all injuries”

This Spiritual Work of Mercy speaks to me the most be-cause forgiveness is something I always strive to do and sometimes the most difficult to show.

Favorite Quote:

“There are no happy endings. Endings are the saddest part, So just give me a happy middle And a very happy start.” – Shel Silverstein

What You Might Not Know: During college, I studied in Florence, Italy for a semester, and I was able to see Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel on a visit to Rome.

Safety Patrol Reminder5th – 8th graders, remember to sign up for Safety Patrol! If you have not yet done so, please use this link:http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c044ca5ad29a13-sacred

1st Quarter Theme: Merciful Eyes Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never judge from appearances, but look for what is good and beautiful in all people. May I see the good so that I never speak negatively of anyone but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for every person.
