Just Overheard in a Public Place

Every one of us is loved and valued, beyond measure.

The following was overheard today in public. 

A man was speaking to three other people while having lunch about who his father is and all the perks associated with the man's celebrity.  

I smiled, having thought immediately about my Father, our Father, and all the perks associated with being loved by Him so much. +

From the book's official press release:

PBS BAKING MONK FR. DOMINIC GARRAMONE DELIVERS MEANINGFUL STORY ABOUT FAITH AND PERSISTENCE IN RICHLY ILLUSTRATED CHILDREN’S BOOK BROTHER JEROME AND THE ANGELS IN THE BAKERY

ST. LOUIS, MO—The angels love to visit Brother Jerome’s monastery bakery, because it’s the place that smells the most like heaven. But when the abbot asks Brother Jerome to open his bakery to the public, the young monk doubts that he can get customers into the shop to try his breads. With the encouragement of his abbot and a little angelic assistance, he gains the self confidence he needs to have a successful bakery.

Brother Jerome and the Angels in the Bakery is a charming children’s book from public television’s popular baker monk, Father Dominic Garramone. Young readers will relate to Brother Jerome’s anxieties about failure, and Richard Bernal’s illustration yields beautiful renderings of monks, angels, and baking.
