Let the image and the quote sink in, and take root. These images might surprise you into prayer at various points in your day.
VIncent more than once said… I don’t know how all this came about; for my part, I couldn’t tell you. M. Portail over there can attest that nothing was further from our thoughts than all that. XII:8

What do you think this family should do today??
