It is amazing that the Cathloic Church has been around as long as it has been in Dallas, dating back to the 1870's, while it is recognized today as a backbone to old Christian Foundations....Then again.. acts of love an compassion has no price on it, while the needy are in need of help....A/T, Poised on this message and meditations on the price of compassion to help the needy..
