EXPLORER Class Investiture Achievement

Picture
_I will keep a song in my heart and go on God’s errands.
In the Pathfinder Law, we promise to keep a song in our hearts.This doesn’t mean literally singing, though that may occur. Rather it means to keep in our hearts an uplifting thought, to focus on what Christ has done for us, and our love for him. This can buoy is when troubles rise around us, and give us hope amid darkness.
