Honoring Our Veterans All Year Long
The stars and stripes fly low in May
In honor of memorial day;
The flag half staff, our eyes did rise
To pay due praise to sacrifice;
Beneath the flag in a field of flowers
Gathered all at the appointed hour;
Navy seals and world war vets,
Rosie the Riveters and air force jets,
Marines and Army corp. service men,
And all who came to honor them,
Did bow their heads in humble prayer,
To ask God’s blessing and a share
Of richest blessings in memory of
The greatest service given in love.

Our gratitude for all who served our nation in the military and especially for those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice does not begin and end on Memorial Day. We thank God everyday for all our Veterans, especially those we are privileged to serve at Santa Teresita!

Not So Ordinary Day
It was an ordinary morning that was not so ordinary. This is what I mean … I woke up with the same weekday routine of getting out of bed, morning prayers and the usual self-talk that if nothing else went right today, at least I had made it thus far without a glitch.
