“'For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.'  (Heb. 4:12)  I love God’s word and sharing it with others.  It is a privilege and an honor to serve the people of the diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph."
