| Prepare the Word - Whole Parish Evangelization

Children often have that cherubic look—though they can be little devils sometimes! More rarely do we see that transcendent purity and beauty in the face of a grown-up. When we do glimpse it in the blazing appearance of a charismatic preacher, the gentle eyes of a wise elder, or even the loveliness of a stranger, it stirs in us a longing to learn more, to grow closer, perhaps even to follow. We cultivate our own heavenly appearance by keeping our gaze on God’s beautiful will. In fact, “the first thing about the angels that we ought to imitate,” says Saint John Vianney, “is their consciousness of the Presence of God.”
