Kids Corner WORDSEARCH BALLPARK FIELDER MANAGER SINGLE BASEBALL GROUNDER PEANUTS SLIDING Short Excerpts Taken from Pope Francis Addresses And Homilies We Are Not a Number to God For God, we are not numbers; we are important; indeed, we are the most important thing to him. Even if we are sinners, we are what is closest to his heart. God Takes The First Step God does not wait for us to go to him, but it is he who moves toward us, without calculation, without quantification. That is what God is like. He always takes the first step; he comes toward us. These excerpts were taken from the book, Pope Francis Speaks to Our Hearts, Words of Challenge and Hope by the Word Among Us.
