“Love is born in the most unexpected place. A star in the silent night brings peace and hope to those who are searching…” (taken from Jesuit School of Theology)
All of us at SEEL Spokane pray that God might bless you with love, peace, and hope this in the year ahead.
Peace, Jennifer

Feast of the Epiphany
“When the song of the angels is stilled,
when the star in the sky is gone, when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with their flocks, the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost, to heal the broken,
to feed the hungry, to release the prisoner, to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among the people, to make music in the heart.”
