THOUGHT OF THE WEEK...
"God is not far away from us, altogether apart from the world we touch, hear, smell and taste about us. Rather God awaits us every instant in our action, in the work of the moment. There is a sense in which God is at the tip of my pen, my spade, my brush, my needle -- of my heart and of my thought." -Teilhard de Chardin
