My 2016 challenge for all of us:
Be merciful to everybody!
No matter how educated, experienced, affluent or advantaged we are, none of us are better than everyone else. We all are called to
- treat others with dignity
- respect life at all stages
- serve the poor
I had three †crosses† from three of our Popes on my dissertation defense (with Pope Francis‘ photo that contained my defense prayer): the Pope Francis Rosary from Bishop Mike * ruby gold †cross† from María Elena from Assisi Jewels during Pope Benedict‘s leadership * Rosary blessed by Saint Pope John Paul II and Father Bob from Bro Joe
Happy One Month Anniversary to my Name Change:
I defended my dissertation on an extra special day for the Church
- Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
- Kickoff to our Jubilee Year of Mercy
Mami Aya pointed out that Papa Jun ~ now Grace‘s Lola & Lolo, as of exactly two weeks ago * #DISPObustAFlow ~ got this fam fortune shortly before my defense, hence excellent timing (on my †OLLU† afghan)!
GOD is Great!!!
