Monthly Inspiration
Monthly Inspiration – January 2021
On the Threshold of January 2021 The Christmas decorations are back in their boxes and the New Year is here with a new “normal routine”. Let me first, wish you all the best for 2021. We cross the threshold from old to new with a lot of open-ended questions. Yes, it is great the new vaccines give us hope, but also new mutations of the virus dampen expectations about the future.

You were all the cement that kept the bricks of society together. Secondly, the gift of a living faith that produces fruits like prayer and solidarity continues to be a precious instrument of comfort, joy, and healing. The...
