Nobody knows how the story ends (The Lumineers)


Nobody knows how to say goodbye
It seems so easy ‘til you try
Then the moments passed you by
Nobody knows how to say goodbye

Nobody knows how to get back home
And we set out so long ago
Searched the heavens and the earth below
Nobody knows how to get back home

Through the darkness to the dawn
And when I looked back you were gone
Heard your voice leading me on
Through the darkness to the dawn

Love is as deep as the road is long
It moves my feet to carry on
Beats my heart when you are gone
Love is deep as the road is long

Nobody knows how the story ends
Live the day, do what you can
This is only where it begins

In November we remember All Souls…

Gratitude, a trait of the heart (Pope Francis)


  The Christian life is above all the grateful response to a generous Father.  Gratitude is a characteristic trait of the heart visited by the Holy Spirit; to obey God, we must first remember his benefits. 

  Ask yourself, How much has God done for me?  How many beautiful things has God done for me?

--Pope Francis, November 15, 2017     

Blessings on Thanksgiving
