Father Paul started our visit with the story of Pentecost. He explained how the Holy Spirit came down to the apostles in the form of fiery tongues fifty days after the resurrection.

Father Paul told us the things we value the most are the things we love the most. The best treasure we have that won’t rust or tarnish is love. God’s love is the best because it is forever.

Our visit ended without snacks because the residents had pizza and birthday cake earlier. However, we did have a sweet surprise with Michelle, Farther Paul’s wife, visiting and adding to our conversation.
