Pastor’s Message “Life”

Is this present life a dream,

And the life beyond not what it seems? For when we pass from here to there

No one comes back to swear – This is the life

Hold on to it with great care. And we remain in this abyss Is this present life a dream

And the life beyond not what it seems? Beulah Bland

(a Parishioner of St. Bernard) God bless you. Fr. Lukose, CMF
