came all the same, because he knew he was
needed ir the world Our Lord Lad up

| he was a poor boy; people who had seen him
| playing on the streets, and later they had seen
him at work with his cal penter tools. They
said: Who is this upstaIt who comes to
| preach among us Is not this he who was a
carpenter All he has got tired OF his tools
| and his work and comes among US to perform
wonders Our Lord had another mis-
| son-to open the ears and release the tongue;

have asked for il. When we ask HIM Tor

see that there is light there. There Is an eH9ft
necessary in order that the mind of God and the
! Spirit OF Col may enter into the heart.
