Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
Luke 6:45 A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.
and from
St. Teresa of Calcutta And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens. And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be.
