THE PURPLES ARE COMING!
By Ilow & Sheri Roque

It’s the breezy time of day and Bella is chasing a dragonfly across the meadow.  Just then, a little brown wren and a kingfisher appear on the scene.  When the excitable little wren notices an ocean of flowers
blooming in the distance, she sounds the alarm:  “The Purples Are Coming!” And so begins a most unusual journey that will bring a delightful band of animal pals not only to the little chapel by the pond to see the purples at the very peak of their bloom, but to the wise old ram, Father Fred, to learn important lessons about prayer and the love of God.  Maybe prayer is not so complicated after all.
