We Hear Many Offers From The World Around Us; But Let Us Take Up God's Offer Instead: His Is A Caress Of Love. For God, We Are Not Numbers, We Are Important, Indeed We Are The Most Important Thing To Him; Even If We Are Sinners, We Are What Is Closest To His Heart.

Sometimes We Are Saddened By The Weight Of Our Sins. May We Not Be Discouraged. Christ Has Come To Lift This Burden And Give Us Peace.
