I wonder what Simen saw when he looked at baby Jesus.
Vinita. Thank you so much for that lovely video. Often, in the rush of live, we forget that Jesus was once a child like us. that is a lovely reminder and an amazing way to engage children in the life of Jesus.
How can something so right and simplistic be so hard for me to adhere to under the slightest stress in my life? Loving and serving other people is the fruit I hope will result from my lenten retreat. Thank you for this glimpse at the baby Jesus.
