Love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father,
for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good. (Gospel)

The Truth   

Christ

the Truth 
or 
the lie

that 
first step of 
faith

toward truth 
or 
the lie

for life 
or death

is a choice

we seek 
in the light 
of Christ
