Saint Augustine said, " He who sings, prays twice."

Sister Miriam and Sister Irene led morning staff prayer
Sister Miriam read John 11:17-27 Jesus the Resurrection and the Life.
Jesus said to her, " I am the resurrection and the life . Those who believe in me will live, even though they die; and all those who live and believe in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
"Yes, Lord!" she answered.

Where else would you ask for peace?
