There is holiness in brevity. And in Sunday's Gospel, Jesus summarizes the two great commandments, asking us to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. And then we should love our neighbors as ourselves. It sounds simple, but these commands demand much of us and our adherence to these would fundamentally alter the world. Let us ask for the courage to live our lives according to the two great commandments!

The first line cannot spill onto Hulmeville Avenue and block traffic. It only slows down the dismissal process when cars all file into the first line, as opposed to evenly across all four.
I have 'Proud Home of an OLG Family' lawn signs. Please come to the office if you'd like one.
