Thank you Mary Lou for this and congratulations on another great stair
climb!! And Greg, thank you for this wonderful reflection! I love the way
you tie the readings together and then ask "the mystery of God's presence
is being revealed to us at all times and are we paying attention?" That's
a good question to ask every day I think.
