Last Updated 03-16-07 Catholic Groups Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!

"You are the light of the world. A city built on a hilltop cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lampstand where it shines for all in the house. In the same way your light must shine, . . . so that, seeing your good works, they may give praise to your Father in heaven." (Matthew   5:14-16)
