Family Prayer/Thoughts of the Month A little bit of humor for the Month I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers to God make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to affect, and all the consequences of those effects down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives. - Peter Kreeft 6 P a g e FATHER JOSEPH O CALLAHAN SJ ASSEMBLY 2820 NEWSLETTER
