“Signed, Sealed, and Delivered, We Pray to the Lord.”
While reading out the universal prayers during Mass this evening, I had to try my absolute best NOT to accidentally spurt out “signed, sealed, and delivered” on the very first petition. Well, the Holy Spirit does have our “future in [His] hands.”
