Our Lenten Journey Day Twenty-Four

make a bookmark as a gift for your father or someone you know who works hard
for you. Using quotes below or ones of  your own choice decorate and present them in
secret! 
"Labor omni vincit - work conquers all !"
"love ought to manifest itself more by deeds than by words" St. Ignatius
