Not only was the small city of Espeyrac exceptionally beautiful from afar, but its church sanctuary was just as stunning from within* … 🙂

“The deeds of Kindness you do today will be the only sermon others truly hear.” ~ via St. Francis of Assisi

“For I have set before you an example, that you should do for others just as I have done to you … Verily, if you truly understand these things I have said, blessed are you while you do them for others.” ~ Jesus Christ (via John 13:15-17)

*This church provided the additional loveliness of the immense sense of Peace I felt after freeing a stray cat who had been unwittingly locked inside … :O

P.S. Once again, I light a candle for Antoine (the son of Alain & Celine, with whom I stayed in St. Privat) — and any others who are in pain around the world; not so much that they might be “healed” per se, but rather that they each come to know perfect Peace — the Peace that only comes to those who choose to Care for others while they themselves are hurting … Amen.

P.P.S. Fitting to the theme of the moment — this tree-graced patio just outside the church provided as much if not more solace than resided within … 😉
