Meet Our Student- Friar Andrew Hennessy
LORD, my heart is not proud; nor are my eyes haughty. I do not busy myself with great matters, with things too sublime for me. Rather, I have stilled my soul, Like a weaned child to its mother,weaned is my soul. Israel, hope in the LORD, now and forever.
-Psalm 131
