Ellen Alric Bruce Mrha Jennie Mrha Diane Savage Michey Staie David Malagisi Karol Gifford Anthony Caruso Annie Dominiak Peter O Lucci Richard McGuire Lisa McCoy Scott McCoy Matthew McAuliffe Carlye Clifford Grace Giarrizzo Today's Gospel talks about people living in darkness. When you think about darkness, you may also think about stumbling, falling, or even being afraid. That's what your life could be like without God. You could stumble around trying to find love or happiness, but without God you will only fall. Jesus brings light into a dark, unhappy world. With Jesus, you no longer need to fall, and you don't need to be afraid. God loves you.
