THE LORD BE WITH  YOU 

“The Lord be with you!”

Isn’t that a sweet blessing?

We say it at Mass - but not

on the street - yet I have

heard grandmothers saying,

“God be with you on your

way back to college. Drive

carefully now. Drive carefully!”

And I heard someone singing

in the parking lot on their way

to their car after Mass, “O come.

o come, Emmanuel.” It was one

of those many simple graces

that God gives at times - simply

to show: “The Lord is with us!”
