Sister Susan Marie (Moderator): What does St. Francis say is the danger when a soul becomes disturbed and anxious? What does it mean when the author says that your soul should be “in your hand”? When have you felt that your soul was in your hand? When have you felt that your soul was not in your hand? St. Louis advised his son that if he is thus troubled, he should tell his confessor, or a pious person. Why is this a good idea? This chapter follows eight chapters on temptation. Why do you think St. Francis placed this chapter here?

VisitationSiste: Hi Lisa

Jul 30, 7:20 PM

Lisa C: Hi Mother, welcome back

Jul 30, 7:21 PM

VisitationSiste: Thank you. Hello 9709

Jul 30, 7:21 PM

Lisa C: Hi 9709

Jul 30, 7:21 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): Hi Everyone and welcome back Mother. We missed you last week. It’s Judy.

Jul 30, 7:22 PM

VisitationSiste: Thanks Judy! But you all had a great chat!

Jul 30, 7:22 PM

VisitationSiste: I read it!

Jul 30, 7:23 PM

VisitationSiste: The meetings were intense but profitable- glad to be back

Jul 30, 7:23 PM

Lisa C: What were the meetings about

Jul 30, 7:23 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) I found this chapter rather difficult to read and comprehend. I don’t know if it was the sentence structure or the language. I guess my responses will show whether I got it right.

Jul 30, 7:24 PM

Ruth (Guest): Hello Sr. Susan, Lisa, Judy. Welcome back Sister.

Jul 30, 7:24 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Hi Ruth

Jul 30, 7:24 PM

VisitationSiste: Hi Ruth! They were about the General Assembly in France in Sept and elections as well

Jul 30, 7:24 PM

Lisa C: Hi Ruth

Jul 30, 7:25 PM

VisitationSiste: Yes sometimes the writing Judy is a bit old fashioned?

Jul 30, 7:25 PM

Lisa C: What kind of elections do you have Mother?

Jul 30, 7:25 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) I hope that all of you are having the same wonderful weather that we are having in NYnow.

Jul 30, 7:26 PM

VisitationSiste: Federation President and Council for the other Federation, not ours

Jul 30, 7:26 PM

VisitationSiste: I think what St Francis wants us to know is that we need to be at peace about everything and that sadness is our worst enemy

Jul 30, 7:27 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Hi Carol Ann!

Jul 30, 7:27 PM

VisitationSiste: Hi Carol Anne!

Jul 30, 7:28 PM

VisitationSiste: He says : This unresting anxiety is the greatest evil which can happen to the soul, sin only excepted.

Jul 30, 7:28 PM

Lisa C: Matthew 6:26-34

Jul 30, 7:28 PM

Ruth (Guest): I thought this chapter was very pertinent for me – especially right now. About an hour and a half ago I let myself be “sucked into” attempting – again! (it’s been going on for over a year and a half!) problem with a third party vendor and Amazon-Chase account. Started letting my soul “slip out of my hand, that is, getting aggravated again.

Jul 30, 7:29 PM

Carol Ann: Hi Everyone! Welcome home, Sr.!

Jul 30, 7:29 PM

Dawn (Guest): Hello everyone!

Jul 30, 7:29 PM

Lisa C: Hi Carol Ann and Dawn

Jul 30, 7:29 PM

Dawn (Guest): Hi Sister

Jul 30, 7:30 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Re: question 1. The danger when a soul becomes disturbed and anxious and feels that there is not solution to his problem is that he experiences excessive distress. this can lead to a loss of grace already posseessed and the power to resist the temptations of the evil on.

Jul 30, 7:30 PM

Ruth (Guest): that is to deal with the problem

Jul 30, 7:30 PM

Ruth (Guest): Hi Carol Ann.

Jul 30, 7:30 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Hi Dawn!

Jul 30, 7:30 PM

VisitationSiste: Hi Dawn!

Jul 30, 7:31 PM

Ruth (Guest): Hello Dawn.

Jul 30, 7:31 PM

Carol Ann: Anxiety is one of the great problems our culture faces

Jul 30, 7:31 PM

Lisa C: When we think there is no remedy for our troubles, we diminish God and His will. We are not trusting that everything is His will and that everything He sends is for some good.

Jul 30, 7:31 PM

VisitationSiste: It is more difficult to hear that inner voice of the Lord when it is blocked by anxiety

Jul 30, 7:31 PM

Dawn (Guest): Good to be here with everyone, I missed last week, big miss!

Jul 30, 7:32 PM

Carol Ann: We missed you too Dawn

Jul 30, 7:32 PM

Dawn (Guest): thank you

Jul 30, 7:32 PM

Ruth (Guest): I think that St. Francis should have added “anger” to his list of dangerous disturbances.

Jul 30, 7:33 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) yes, Dawn. You were missed.

Jul 30, 7:33 PM

Ruth (Guest): Missed you, too, Dawn.

Jul 30, 7:33 PM

VisitationSiste: He says: if our heart be disturbed and anxious, it loses power to retain such graces as it has, as well as strength to resist the temptations of the Evil One, who is all the more ready to fish (according to an old proverb) in troubled waters.

Jul 30, 7:34 PM

Lisa C: Anger can be justified. God has anger against sin. Jesus had anger in the temple.

Jul 30, 7:34 PM

Dawn (Guest): our chat has become a good habit and all of you, good friends, Mother a spiritual guide and friend

Jul 30, 7:34 PM

Ruth (Guest): Good similie: that the Evil One goes fishing in troubled waters.

Jul 30, 7:35 PM

Carol Ann: ST. Francis is speaking of sinful anger I think

Jul 30, 7:36 PM

Ruth (Guest): I liked SFdS’s similie about the bird in the net, too, getting more and more entangled.

Jul 30, 7:36 PM

Dawn (Guest): I had not considered state of anxiety to be the presuror to retaining graces and then less strength. a direct line

Jul 30, 7:36 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Distress and anxiety distract us from what is truly important in our lives, our relationship with Jesus. It is hard to center our minds and hearts on Him when our minds are wrestling with problems

Jul 30, 7:36 PM

Ruth (Guest): I don’t think

Jul 30, 7:37 PM

Ruth (Guest): St Francis addresses anger here, but it, too, without being sinful in itself, CAN – muddy the waters.

Jul 30, 7:38 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Any emotion experienced to excess can muddy the waters.

Jul 30, 7:39 PM

Carol Ann: That is true.

Jul 30, 7:39 PM

VisitationSiste: He also says : Anxiety arises from an unregulated desire to be delivered from any pressing evil, or to obtain some hoped-for good.

Jul 30, 7:40 PM

Ruth (Guest): He does,

Jul 30, 7:40 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Hi guest 7276. Is it Brian?

Jul 30, 7:41 PM

VisitationSiste: Not waiting on God causes anxiety in me sometimes

Jul 30, 7:42 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Hi Sister Susan , Ruth , Carol Ann , Lisa , Dawn , and Judy ! God Bless You ! Brian

Jul 30, 7:42 PM

Carol Ann: Yet waiting can be so hard, even when He is trustworthy time after time

Jul 30, 7:43 PM

Lisa C: If our will is to submit to God’s will even if we are a bit afraid of the outcome, we are like Jesus in the garden. Mat 26:42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.

Jul 30, 7:43 PM

Ruth (Guest): Sister [Sorry as at 7:36-7:37 I accidentally hit the paragraph key instead of the shift] but it is encouraging to me that he urges us to pray to be relieved of these stressors that cause anxiety, etc.

Jul 30, 7:44 PM

Lisa C: This may be what StF means having our soul in our hand...giving it to God to do with as He pleases.

Jul 30, 7:44 PM

Lisa C: Trusting God

Jul 30, 7:45 PM

Dawn (Guest): Hi Brian!

Jul 30, 7:45 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) St. Francis speaks of having your soul in your hand. I think this means that have it under control and not in the depths of unruly love, hate, envy, lust, fear, vexation or joy. I do not recall a time of having my soul in hand. However, I am just coming out of a period of great anxiety and fear and my soul was not in my hand. But am going through it patiently, constantly invoking God for help.

Jul 30, 7:45 PM

VisitationSiste: It is a beautiful image

Jul 30, 7:46 PM

Ruth (Guest): Sometimes I think I just have to “put up with” or “deal with” or “offer up” Poverty, Sickness, Contempt. Maybe sometimes we do have to, but ONLY after first asking to be relieved of these obstacles to freely receiving his graces.

Jul 30, 7:47 PM

Lisa C: Thinking about offering difficulties for souls helps

Jul 30, 7:47 PM

Ruth (Guest): Welcome Brian!

Jul 30, 7:47 PM

Ruth (Guest): Good idea Lisa.

Jul 30, 7:47 PM

Carol Ann: Hi Brian

Jul 30, 7:48 PM

Dawn (Guest): I ask God and trust that he will heal these things in me ,and see it somewhat as a cross I am asked to bear. I do not know if that is true, but I do trust Him if I am healed or never

Jul 30, 7:48 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Off the topic. Mother, have you by any chance spoken with the webmaster about getting our chat material into a darker print? I am having trouble seeing it well.

Jul 30, 7:49 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Thank you “muchly.

Jul 30, 7:49 PM

Ruth (Guest): Judy, you seem to have a great deal of understanding of this topic, even though you found it difficult.

Jul 30, 7:50 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) thank you, Ruth. That makes me feel better!

Jul 30, 7:51 PM

Dawn (Guest): your reflections are helpful Judy, I agree with Ruth

Jul 30, 7:51 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) thank you, Dawn!

Jul 30, 7:52 PM

Ruth (Guest): Regarding how dark/light the type appears; I’ve noticed that NOT using the exit to full page – longer lines – helps a bit.

Jul 30, 7:53 PM

Dawn (Guest): also....feeling , emotions are not necessarily a good indicator of how we understand, you showed example of this

Jul 30, 7:53 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) What does that mean, Ruth?

Jul 30, 7:54 PM

Ruth (Guest): I’ve magnified this to 200%. That also makes it a bit easier to see.

Jul 30, 7:54 PM

Dawn (Guest): the type is light and now I notice it much

Jul 30, 7:54 PM

Ruth (Guest): And almost fills the screen.

Jul 30, 7:55 PM

VisitationSiste: keep a calm, restful spirit,!

Jul 30, 7:55 PM

Ruth (Guest): Yes, here in the response window the type looks black; but when it shows up up above, it becomes grey.

Jul 30, 7:56 PM

Carol Ann: Every time we feel that calm slipping we need to turn to Christ

Jul 30, 7:57 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) So true, Carol Ann!

Jul 30, 7:57 PM

Ruth (Guest): Judy, there are three icons just under the right hand corner of this blue box. If you hit the one to the extreme right, a new window pops open. I’ve found that not very useful.

Jul 30, 7:57 PM

Dawn (Guest): at that moment!

Jul 30, 7:57 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Amen Carol Ann

Jul 30, 7:58 PM

Ruth (Guest): That is what I meant.

Jul 30, 7:59 PM

VisitationSiste: This I really like: See whether your soul is fully under control, or whether it has not in anywise escaped from beneath your hand, to plunge into some unruly love, hate, envy, lust, fear, vexation or joy. And if it has so strayed, before all else seek it out, and quietly bring it back to the Presence of God, once more placing all your hopes and affections under the direction of His Holy Will.

Jul 30, 7:59 PM

Ruth (Guest): Oops! Cross conversations. Yes, Sister, let’s be calm, be cool, and be collected.

Jul 30, 7:59 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Sharing such burdens with a confessor or pious person eases the burden in some way and the person is relieved at having done so. There is a saying that friendship doubles our joy and divides our grief. That is what happens in this case.

Jul 30, 8:00 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): It helps to also remember specific events that Christ has gotten us through in the past ! Elevates our Faith Immediately !

Jul 30, 8:00 PM

Ruth (Guest): Yes, indeed.

Jul 30, 8:01 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) I think we have all had times of distress and we kept them to ourselves and they have loomed heavier and heavier on our minds and hearts. But as soon as we tell someone about it, we feel immediate relief, even if the situation itself as not changes.

Jul 30, 8:01 PM

Dawn (Guest): good reminder Brian, yes it does help

Jul 30, 8:02 PM

Ruth (Guest): While driving today, though, while listening to a “Healing Rosary” the voice was so mesmerizing that I had to pull off the road and walk about to be protected from falling asleep at the wheel!

Jul 30, 8:02 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Amen Judy happened to me this morning st training !

Jul 30, 8:02 PM

Carol Ann: To have a trusted confidante as well as a confessor is so very necessary

Jul 30, 8:02 PM

Lisa C: Sometimes I think that only God can understand some things

Jul 30, 8:03 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): At training

Jul 30, 8:03 PM

Lisa C: Things seem too complicated

Jul 30, 8:04 PM

Carol Ann: Amen indeed!

Jul 30, 8:04 PM

Lisa C: Only God can understand everything about us, even we are not aware of everything

Jul 30, 8:04 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Remember simple childlike Faith ! Little children share from the heart ! Great lesson for us!

Jul 30, 8:04 PM

Ruth (Guest): Telling a trusted friend: That is why I still miss Sr. Charlotte so very, very much. It was so helpful to talk with her. None of the priests seem to have time.

Jul 30, 8:05 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) We can hide things from ourselves, but God sees everything about us.

Jul 30, 8:05 PM

Dawn (Guest): glad you knew realized to pull over Ruth! imagine an officer taking your statement about that was happening...

Jul 30, 8:05 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Amen Judy !

Jul 30, 8:06 PM

VisitationSiste: Sometimes the Lord gives answers over time to our innermost questions even if we never discuss them with anyone

Jul 30, 8:07 PM

VisitationSiste: I keep trying to image soul in hand. Anne Goetze has a painting “bird in hand” I guess our soul is alive like a bird and we can converse with our own soul!

Jul 30, 8:07 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Sharing with another does not mean that a means of conquering the problem will be offered. Somehow the act of revealing the trouble seems to take some of the impact off.

Jul 30, 8:07 PM

Dawn (Guest): that happened to me, driving on open mountain highway, memorizing a scripture, I was driving to slow and was pulled over. when I explained, the officer smiled and was very kind, told me to drive the speed limit

Jul 30, 8:08 PM

Lisa C: Soul in our hand is realizing that our free will can allow us to give our soul to God or just let it rot in the world

Jul 30, 8:08 PM

Ruth (Guest): Another good observation, Judy.

Jul 30, 8:09 PM

Lisa C: All those creatures outside the castle of St. T of A

Jul 30, 8:09 PM

Dawn (Guest): that is simply it Lisa

Jul 30, 8:09 PM

Lisa C: The things trying to destroy our soul

Jul 30, 8:09 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Mother, how many times have we heard someone say that he needs to get things in hand. Meaning getting things under control. I think that having your soul in hand means the same thing-under control.

Jul 30, 8:10 PM

Ruth (Guest): Dawn. Did he explain why they call it the speed LIMIT rather than the minimum speed.

Jul 30, 8:10 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): I was taking Kairos Advanced Training really having episodes of fear about leading upcoming weekend retreat because we are temporarily short a retreat leader . Kept inside all weekend . After mass this morning I finally was able share . What a help !

Jul 30, 8:10 PM

VisitationSiste: Yes great thought Judy

Jul 30, 8:11 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (JUdy) Good for you, Brian!

Jul 30, 8:11 PM

Ruth (Guest): And yet another, Judy. That’s the way I understand it, too. Like having a matter under control. Having one’s SELF under control.

Jul 30, 8:12 PM

Dawn (Guest): no, he first said...I thought you were a very old person driving to slow and you kept going to the right...I had written the scripture in big letters on paper so I could glance at it, I showed him. I did not realize the distraction!

Jul 30, 8:12 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Totally irrational fear that I should not have waited so long to share ! Thank You Jesus for our friends who we can share with!

Jul 30, 8:13 PM

Carol Ann: Amen!

Jul 30, 8:13 PM

Dawn (Guest): thank you Lisa <3

Jul 30, 8:14 PM

Lisa C: Some things we cannot say in words they just happen between God and us

Jul 30, 8:14 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Thank You Lisa!

Jul 30, 8:15 PM

VisitationSiste: Yes and this I can share Lisa but I may not make myself clear

Jul 30, 8:15 PM

Ruth (Guest): I once, literally had a pet finch in my hand. Taking this too literally might have dire consequences. The poor little bird had gotten itself all tangled up in some wool yarn I’d made available to it as nesting material. I found it hanging upside down from the nesting box by one leg tangled in the yarn. I tried, very gently, to release it. I don’t know if I scared the poor little bird to death or just held it too tightly; it died in my hand. Not the way to hold one’s own soul in the hand! I’d rather

Jul 30, 8:16 PM

Dawn (Guest): Truly, He is , the Holy Spirit is our counselor who reminds us of everything He has said. and listens.

Jul 30, 8:16 PM

Ruth (Guest): offer it to the Lord. If I die in His hand; that’s OK.

Jul 30, 8:16 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Spent weekend at Christ the King Seminary East Aurora. Have not been there in 40 years ! What a beautiful place !

Jul 30, 8:17 PM

VisitationSiste: I was in Rockville VA Fri and knew I could not get back to NY without filling up on gasoline But I never do self serve so I was nervous about ot. Well before I left the Monastery a Sister asks can I fill up ther tank for you? I said are you going to go to the gas station with me? She said, no we have a gas tank rifght on the Monastery property! That is God’s delicate touch- for me, even tho I had some anxiety!

Jul 30, 8:17 PM

Carol Ann: Oh Ruth, I am so sorry

Jul 30, 8:18 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Ruth, that must have been a rather shattering experience.

Jul 30, 8:18 PM

Ruth (Guest): Glad you had a good weekend, Brian.

Jul 30, 8:19 PM

Ruth (Guest): Sister, I love your story. Sometimes the Lord has such gentleness toward us, and usually through kind, thoughtful PEOPLE.

Jul 30, 8:19 PM

Carol Ann: What a lucky break, Sr.!

Jul 30, 8:19 PM

Lisa C: Yes, Mother, God was being very attentive to you

Jul 30, 8:20 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Thanks Ruth ! You all are such awesome prayer warriors !!!

Jul 30, 8:20 PM

Dawn (Guest): Sister, those little experiences remind us we are never alone!

Jul 30, 8:20 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) touching the last question. St. Francis, in placing this chapter after the 8 on temptation is giving us insight on just how temptation is fostered and strengthened by distress and disturbances during which we experience a lack of control over our soul.

Jul 30, 8:21 PM

Lisa C: I was talking more about how some things we cannot even understand and that God understands and touches us and we know He is doing it and it is overwhelming

Jul 30, 8:21 PM

Ruth (Guest): Carol Ann, I hope your realize I was still writing about the finch 8:15 and 8:16 – comparing the bird in hand to the soul in hand .

Jul 30, 8:21 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Amen Lisa !!!

Jul 30, 8:22 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) this makes it easier for the temptation to overcome us. But, here the SAint tells us how to seek out our soul and bring it back to the Presence of God and His Holy Will.

Jul 30, 8:22 PM

Carol Ann: I do Ruth, and it is a powerful lesson

Jul 30, 8:22 PM

Dawn (Guest): Lisa, yes. and in those moments can come the gift of tears I think

Jul 30, 8:22 PM

Lisa C: Yes Dawn

Jul 30, 8:23 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) In the story of your bird, Ruth, we are taught that as we seek to gain control over our soul, we need to be careful not to crush it in the process.

Jul 30, 8:23 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Amen Dawn !!!

Jul 30, 8:24 PM

Dawn (Guest): Ruth, the finch story...my first thought was grasping, when we begin to grasp

Jul 30, 8:24 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Amen Judy !!!

Jul 30, 8:24 PM

Ruth (Guest): It was very sad to lose my precious little pet. Even my cat, had befriended her, could be found when I got home from work cu curled up resting against the bird cage. I think that this experience teaches me, at least in part, that to have my “soul in hand” I need to have it in God’s hand.

Jul 30, 8:24 PM

Lisa C: Ruth, finches are so delicate

Jul 30, 8:24 PM

Ruth (Guest): whether I live or die.

Jul 30, 8:25 PM

VisitationSiste: Thanks for sharing this experience Ruth

Jul 30, 8:25 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) And souls are delicate too. So while we are seeking to have our soul in our hand, we cannot hold on too tightly or we might kill the sould.

Jul 30, 8:26 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Soul.

Jul 30, 8:27 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) I think that we all need to remember that no matter what is going on in our lives, that God always holds us in His hand.

Jul 30, 8:27 PM

VisitationSiste: Meaning- not too much control?

Jul 30, 8:28 PM

VisitationSiste: Beautiful- in God’s hands

Jul 30, 8:28 PM

Dawn (Guest): reading thru everyones posts I see understanding even simple daily events in the supernatural, the spiritua;l.....praiseing Jesus for all he has done for us!

Jul 30, 8:29 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Had too transport a friends beloved birds to new home last week ! Soo hard for her to say goodbye ! She knew she could no longer care for them ! Janet and my sister in law Ann find perfect home ! She was Soo relieved very difficult but great act of Love to ask for new home for beloved pets !

Jul 30, 8:29 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Enough control to handle the situation but not so much as to squelch the soul’s natural responsiveness.

Jul 30, 8:29 PM

VisitationSiste: very well said!

Jul 30, 8:30 PM

VisitationSiste: the freedom we have- free will- free response

Jul 30, 8:30 PM

Dawn (Guest): beautiful words

Jul 30, 8:30 PM

Ruth (Guest): Yes, in God’s hands always, come what may. The poor little bird was squirming too much; I must be careful to not try TOO hard to extirpate myself from a difficult situation.

Jul 30, 8:30 PM

Carol Ann: As always, we must have balance, and Christ is the fulcrum upon which we swing back and forth

Jul 30, 8:31 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): Judy) I recall a song of Glen Campbell’s some years ago called the Gambler. You’ve got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run. The same could be said for these situations.

Jul 30, 8:31 PM

Lisa C: When I see rays coming out of the clouds I always think they are the rays coming from Blessed Mother’s hands to show us to heaven

Jul 30, 8:31 PM

Dawn (Guest): as was said, remaining calm allows us to respond to Gods will not our own

Jul 30, 8:31 PM

VisitationSiste: Also a great expression- fulcrum

Jul 30, 8:31 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Imagine Mary when she held Jesus when He was taken down from the Cross !!!

Jul 30, 8:31 PM

Ruth (Guest): I CAN avoid trying TOO hard if I TRUST sufficiently.

Jul 30, 8:32 PM

VisitationSiste: a great and beautifully expressed conversation- all around!

Jul 30, 8:33 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Amen Dawn and Ruth !!!

Jul 30, 8:33 PM

Ruth (Guest): Such a poignant scene, Brian! And His Mother is Our Mother, too.

Jul 30, 8:33 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Lisa. my very first childhood friend and I used to call those rays “Holy Ghost Rays.

Jul 30, 8:33 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Amen Ruth !!!

Jul 30, 8:34 PM

Lisa C: Sweet Judy

Jul 30, 8:34 PM

VisitationSiste: May these rays protect your souls all week!

Jul 30, 8:34 PM

VisitationSiste: God bless!

Jul 30, 8:34 PM

Dawn (Guest): Brian, a friend coming to you in time to hear you...your prayer maybe silent, I think God hears our heart and our cries. Im happy you could talk about it!

Jul 30, 8:34 PM

Carol Ann: God bless you too, Sr. And thank you

Jul 30, 8:35 PM

Guest7276 (Guest): Soo nice to be back together with you all ! Many prayers for everyone ! God Bless You All ! Brian

Jul 30, 8:35 PM

Lisa C: God be praised!

Jul 30, 8:35 PM

Guest9709 (Guest): (Judy) Let us strive to always have our souls in our hands, and to be ever aware that God is with us at every minute of the day and through every trial. Have a blessed weel!

Jul 30, 8:36 PM

Carol Ann: Blessed week everyone !

Jul 30, 8:36 PM

Ruth (Guest): Such tender Love! And yet – sometimes – she does not avert the “evil” (the crucifixion) but even then she is CARING for us, LOVING us, and drawing us closer to her SON.

Jul 30, 8:38 PM

Dawn (Guest): A beautiful imagine...rays coming from our Mother! Thank you everyone, Sister, God Bless and thanking our Lord for this gathering.

Jul 30, 8:42 PM

Dawn (Guest): Ruth, you are here still. thank you for sharing ! have a blessed week and be safe when driving! .....

Jul 30, 8:43 PM

Dawn (Guest): good’night

Jul 30, 8:43 PM

Ruth (Guest): I feel a whole lot happier, and calmer after this chat than I did when I came to it. So good to share with friends!

Jul 30, 8:44 PM

Ruth (Guest): Thank you, Dawn. Blessing to all!
