Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
In my bedroom as a child, there hung an 8.5-by-11-inch framed picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am not sure how it got there (I think it also hung in my father’s bedroom when he was a child), or where it is today, but it is a significant part of my early spiritual journey.
Family life is hard. In case no one has reminded you of that lately, let me be the one.
