Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
Hold thou thy Cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee: in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle...pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts...forever!
