An Inner Christmas

Posted on October 1, 2014September 2, 2014Author Michael MacielPosted in Special Feature, V2 N4 2014Leave a Reply

There is no doubt that the world conspires against anyone trying to have a contemplative Christmas.

Posted on October 1, 2014September 2, 2014Author Very Rev. David S. JenningsPosted in V2 N4 2014Leave a Reply
