Saint Thomas Church
Prayer to Saint Thomas the Apostle
O Glorious Saint Thomas, your grief for
Jesus was such that it would not let you
believe he had risen unless you actually
saw him and touched his wounds. But your
love for Jesus was equally great and it
led you to give up your life for him.
Pray for us that we may grieve for our
sins which were the cause of Christ's
sufferings. Help us to spend ourselves
in his service and so earn the title of
"blessed" which Jesus applied to those
who would believe in him without seeing
him. Amen.

EVINTIDE
The day is past and the toilers cease;
The land grows dim 'mid the shadows grey,
And hearts are glad, for the dark brings peace
At the close of day.
Each weary toiler, with lingering pace,
As he homeward turns, with the long day done,
Looks out to the west, with the light on his face
Of the setting sun.
Yet some see not (with their sin-dimmed eyes)
The promise of rest in the fading light;
But the clouds loom dark in the angry skies
At the fall of night.
And some see only a golden sky
Where the elms their welcoming arms stretch wide
To the calling rooks, as they homeward fly
At the eventide.
It speaks of peace that comes after strife,
Of the rest He sends to the hearts He tried,
Of the calm that follows the stormiest life --
God's eventide.

Welcome to Aunt Marg's Home Page...
Hope your stay here will be
interesting and enjoyable...
Hi!, My name is Margarete Roach and many of my friends call me Aunt Marg...
I have lived in Zanesville, Ohio
all of my life...
I am thrilled to be in the midst of all this progress
and pioneering of computer technology...
I enjoy watching reruns of The Lawrence Welk Show...
I am Catholic and watch mass on TV Sundays...
Go often to church and see if
you don't feel better...
Aunt Marg
A picture is worth a thousand words?...
I have lived in Zanesville, Ohio all my life...
It has the only "Y" bridge in the USA...
I enjoy a big breakfast for that is my main meal of the day...
My niece visits some weekends and we go out to eat and go shopping together...
Guinan: "It's an Earth drink. Prune juice."
Worf: "Warrior's drink!"

Who was Aunt Marg? Well She was a part of my life from its beginning up till Her death. When I was young we all use to visit Aunt Marg and Uncle George. He had a wooden leg which made Him a very interesting person. And of course We always had a meal there which was very good always. When I was in grade school I would sometimes stay at Aunt Marg's and We would walk downtown early in the morning before sunrise, seeing all the stars. First stop was the Catholic Church for Mass then to the restaurant where She worked for breakfast. Then off I went to school only a couple of blocks away. |
