Who shall live on your holy mountain, O Lord.

JESUS TOOK THE BLIND MAN BY THE HAND ...

HE LAID HIS HANDS ON THE MAN ...

THEN HE LAID HIS HANDS ON THE MAN'S EYES A SECOND TIME AND HE SAW CLEARLY.

(Mk 8:23, 25)

Dear Jesus, please don't let go of my hand.

I BET GOD

If He

let go of my hand, I would

weep so loudly,

I would petition with all my might, I would cause

so much trouble

that I bet God would come to His senses

and never do that 

again.

SAINT NICHOLAS OF PAGLIA,
