Words Make Worlds

You are not yet who you are meant to be and it is "words" spoken by you and through you that will be a major part of who you will yet become.  Based on the texts today, Fr. Allen charts the power of words to shape us, words that shape our identity, words that have the power to heal or destroy, words that mattered Jesus and even help us understand what it means to "take up our cross" in the modern world.
