Thank you from the bottom of my heart.<BR/><BR/>I was especially moved by this: "A Catholic Life shines out like a beacon of hope for those of us who embrace our faith and enjoy sharing about our doctrines."<BR/><BR/>I'm honored to help others and be a beacon for Christ.

Priests are chosen by God and they are special people and they don't get the respect they should. Many are called but few are chosen.

Though I don't comment, sometimes I think about it. I'd never before thought of reading an entire book as my Lenten contemplation. As I was short of funds at the time, I chose to read "The Day I Was Crucified", a novel about the Passion. Though it was a fictional novel, if gave me the sense of what Jesus would have went through. I should have thanked you long before now for that suggestion. I was actually wanting to read "The Dolorous Passion..." but was so short of funds that I ahd to read something I already had at home.<BR/><BR/>I do read this blog often, it is such a joy to read what you have to say. I've even started checking on the vocation blog you just created.

I have read it regularly since then.<BR/><BR/>I have learned so much from your blog. You have helped shape me into a different person. I am a stronger Catholic and a better person overall. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>You have taught me things about the Catholic church I did not know or understand. I was raised Lutheran and converted in 1998. I never did understand confession but I go now. I understand and believe. I never agreed with alot of the teachings but you have helped me realize the biblical basis for them and I now not only understand but I agree with them.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for what you are doing. You are reaching out to people who may not be able to find the answers elsewhere. You have so much information on a variety of issues and it is in easily readable terms. I have read your prayers, I have prayed along with you. I have prayed for you on your journey into the priesthood. You have greatly affected me in a postive way and I want to say thank you to you and to God for all his help and guidance.<BR/><BR/>I had you pick a saint for me. It was one I had never heard of but it was like it was meant to be for me. I found a prayer card online about him and printed it off. It has such a perfect little saying for my goals in life...It is amazing that the perfect saint was picked for me.<BR/><BR/>May God continue to bless you along your journey.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302870737482498357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-1147952450176994492006-05-18T06:40:00.000-05:002006-05-18T06:40:00.000-05:00Dearest Moneybags, I proudly entered the church i...Dearest Moneybags, I proudly entered the church in 2006. I have been enjoying your site for a good part of this first year. The devotions, novenas, quotes have been nothing short of inspirational and feed my soul every day. I also enjoyed picking a saint and the gifts of the holy spirit for me and my family. I feel as thought your site is genuine and true to the faith. Please keep it up and may God bless you and yours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
