Spring has definitely sprung with a gay event right down the street where I attend Mass when I wake early.

A flurry of activities were visible with the banners and rainbows I could see adorning the lieu. It’s my hood’s Bay Center and since Parisians love to “flâner” my curiosity drew me into the matrix of fun, color and activities offered. 

The EU has openly declared support for gay marriages to “abort the spread of AIDS” and keep us constantly chaste. Our newly elected President Emmanuel Macron also is concurrently President of the European Union which makes me doubly proud.

Welcome line of Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence; right, mixmatch of people made it gay!*
Orange is the new black; right, France is known for its play in words – a call to action!*
Interest for choral singing?; right, always ready to volunteer*

Hopping from booths to stands and pop up table sales, the start of spring has definitely been reclaimed gayness Pride by the French and living in Paris is a joy, thanks to these happy affairs. 

Definitely an awareness that only Paris, France can bring prestige and honor! Shout it loud, “I’m gay and I’m PROUD!” 

MY PRAYER

Dear Father in heaven, we thank you for guiding us on all our ways with power from on high. We thank you that again and again you have led us through the darkness on a path of light. Looking back, we cannot be thankful enough. May our hearts turn to you and be filled with quiet certainty in all we are still awaiting. Remember us and remember the many who lie under heavy bondage. Let the time come when you will bring a great deliverance to those who are in darkness. Then we can find meaning for our lives in all that happens, knowing that you have been faithful in everything. You have done more than we asked, more than we can understand. Amen.*
