This Queens, New York born and raised yankee can’t express in words enough how much I adore our brothers and sisters in the South.
I spend a lot of time in God’s country of Auburn, Alabama and each and every time my heart leaves full of joy and hope.
The spirit of love for God and country in the South is infectious, and you can’t help but smile as people greet with you a “sir” or “ma’am.”
I wasn’t born here but I’ll always consider this my adopted home. Hope you’ll have me.
Good morning.
Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
"Most High and glorious God, enlighten the darkness of our hearts and give us a true faith, a certain hope and a perfect love. Give us a sense of the divine and knowledge of yourself, so that we may do everything in fulfillment of your holy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Prayer of Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226) "
