servant depart in peace, according to Thy word,
for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the

a light to enlighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.”

If you're
looking for a sign
from God to get back to church -
THIS IS IT!
"The internet causes billions of images to appear
on millions of computer screens around the planet. From this galaxy of
sight and sound will the face of Christ emerge and the voice of Christ
be heard? For it is only when His face is seen and His voice heard
that the world will know the glad tidings of our
redemption....Therefore,...I dare to summon the whole Church bravely
to create this new threshold, to put out into the deep of the Net, so
that now as in the past the great engagement of the Gospel and culture
may show to the world 'the glory of God on the face of Christ'." -Pope
John Paul II
