Gorgeous picture. Thank you for all you give us.
Blessed and Happy New Year to you all.
Bonne Année!May we open our selves to receive all the blessings of the new year and make it truly a Year of Love, as Ilia Delio invites us: “Love is the energy of union, the space between hearts where forgiveness, compassion, joy, thanksgiving and peace flourish in the birthing of oneness.

Is there a way to individually direct this funding from rampant militarization back to our Church somehow?
