Dear Fr. Benedict, Our family is so grateful for the Oratory of Divine Love. We pray that as a family (2 parents, 3 older children, 3 children in the beds) each Sunday night. Friends know this is our special prayer time. We had you in prayer these past days but especially during our Oratory. Thank you for that you have done. AMDG, - Karen & Ted, James, Nicole, John, Thomas, Peter, Paul, Felicia,

Dear Father Benedict, You were my professor here at Maryknoll when I was a seminarian...that is, when we were both a LOT younger! I join my prayers to those offered for your healing by your friends and admirers around the world. My your suffering lead you to discover and celebrate your true self united with Christ. Joy and peace of Christ to your world! (Rev.) - Joe, M.M.

Dear Father Groeschel: I am so happy to hear that you are recovering. I am 35 years old, married and a mother of three young boys and I love, love, love being Catholic and you are one of the reasons why I've come to love my faith so much. I consider you my teacher and I have learned so much through you. I thank God for you and I pray for your full recovery. You are so special to so many people and God works through you constantly. Thank you for helping me to understand and appreciate how special our Catholic faith is and for teaching me all about our beautiful Savior. Take Care, Fr. Groeschel, and feel better soon. With love and prayers, - Regina, P.S. My 7 year old son, Larry, is with me as I write this and says hello to you, too.

Dear Fr Ben & Glenn, each day your spiritual direction by the Friars each and everyone of them has been so inspirational. It's amazing to see each persons gift of the spirit come forth. IT IS FRUITFUL TO ALL OF US. PLEASE CONTINUE - CATHY, FROM UPSTATE NY

Thank you so much, dear Friars for your so precious and enlightening website. Thank you Fr. Herald, for your deep teachings. Perseverance in prayers brings sometimes unexpected small good surprises on hope of air for instance. It was sometimes difficult for instance to try to explore scuba diving when there is smoke around and temptation to rush and remain to the surface. Starting to read the Gospel a little bit more slowly I am releasing a tiny bit more clearly what came to my "mind" when I woke up this morning, half asleep, half awake. What a path...! Uh, ..I will meditate the Rosary! God bless you

Dear Father Benedict,
It is with great happiness that I write to you to say that I am thankful to God for sparing you to us for another (long, I hope) while. I enjoy the web sight daily, and print out the news to read and save. The daily letter is part of my life now, and has been since your accident last January (12th). The reason I am writing is to tell you that I printed out yesterday's letter (although it was the 19th, it said 18th ) to give to all my brothers and sisters at the Secular Third Order of St. Francis last night at our Fraternity meeting. We found it very edifying, and hope that you could include a word for the Third Order some time. Our church St. Ann's, Marlborough, Massachusetts, was closed in the reconfiguration, and we are without a priest. We had two Franciscan priests, and now we are without. Thank you Father, if you have a minute to send us a line, but if you don't, we understand 100%. With Love in Christ, - Marsha,

October
