Am so blessed to be given this Jacket. A Christmas gift from my spiritual bestie. Jennifer.

I wore it today at Walmart. A man approached me with a big smile and pointed at my Psalm 91 logo

I cannot figure it out why? But then later on he showed me his Phone with the Prayer of Psalm 91.

I told him, I’ll pray for him and likewise said he will pray for me

Indeed a blessing

Walk for Life is almost here January 25. I went to the Parish office of Saint Catherine to finalized the Poster and announcement.

I was so happy that the Parish had already included in the announcement for this coming Sunday the Walk for Life

Having a hard time with the printing of the poster but fortunately the secretary was able to print it out

I was able to find a place to put it

Entered the Church and was surprised there was an exposition of the Holy Eucharist

Praise and thank you Lord Jesus
