Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.

No body but yours.
“Christ has no body now, but yours.
No hands, no feet on earth, but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which
Christ looks compassion into the world.
Yours are the feet
with which Christ walks to do good.
Yours are the hands
with which Christ blesses the world.”-St. Teresa of Avila

In addition to justice, man needs, and will always need, Love.

Teenage girls, 1944.
By Nina Leen
I feel like that fourth girl today—went to my local Christian bookstore today, and the owner gave me 21 papal bulls and encyclicals, working documents of various Bishops’ Synods, publications of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, etc. for FREE!
Add in that I found Evangelium Vitae, a biography of a refugee priest who wound up in my diocese, a book of Blessed JP II’s poetry, and a priest retreat book from 1938.
Then, I skipped home like I’d just won a candy store, a pony and the lottery.
I love books!
