Life is Beautiful

Yesterday I visited Rev. Vincent Voneuw in a nursing home located in South Boston, called The Marian Mannor, and it brought me great joy to see him. He was the priest who gave me my first communium when I was younger. He is gifted with great wisdom and it was a blessing to have found him once again. This was my second visit after a month since my first visit. He remember me and I brought him some gifts. One of the gifts was actually a portrait of the cross demonstrated in this picture below.

Rev. Vincent had this beautiful quote all around his room and it said this, "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL". Everything he felt happy about something, he would say "That is just beautiful, you are beautiful". I brought great joy to my heart to hear such simple and humble words from a long time friend and mentor. As we age we may think that we grow weaker but Rev. Vincent shows me that is not always the case. He may not be as strong as he used to be physically but in the spiritual world of things he is a strong force you don't wish to mess with.

He also showed me what is "Gaspacho" and told me that his sister made the best "Gaspacho" which is like a red soup. I didn't wish to ask him for some, but I just took his word for it.
