Peace to ALL that enters here, Merry CHRISTmas to all.
Father Benny I hope you are feeling better and will be able to be up and around for the Christmas Mass. So many people have been touched by many of the Saints and the Blessed trinity throughout time, But not enough of the people rejoice in thanksgiving. In this Christmas season I am happy to say that more and more people have been saying Merry CHRISTmas. After the media and the merchants tried to change things to happy holidays. Thank you God for giving us you only son Jesus Christ in the holy season.
Frank, Bethpage

 

Dear Fr. Benedict, Sorry to read of your latest problem. I am sure many will be praying for a rapid recovery as well as myself. May your Christmas be happy and Blessed. I still thank God for you and your work.

Dear Fr. Groeschel: It is beyond my comprehension why you should have to take another fall - except that Jesus must love you very much to want you to imitate him in showing us how to suffer in this life. God Bless You and Prayers!

Dear Fr. Benedict, Fr. Glenn, Fr. Stan, the other Friars and Sisters,
... Have a Merry Christmas--and may Fr. Solanus Casey continue to intercede on your behalf-as I believe he did on January 11th. Please continue to be a beacon of light in this world of darkness--our country needs so much hope these days--at a time when we should be bursting with hope and joy as Jesus will be born shortly. Blessings of JMJ, St. Pio, St. Therese, St. John Of the Cross, Fr. Solanus Casey, Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II the Great,

Dear Fr. Benedict, I am sorry to hear about your fall on the stairs.  I will be praying for you tonight at adoration.  Your letter on 12/21 is so good on suffering.  Thank you for all you do and ARE!  Merry Christmas to you and the Friars and Sisters.

Great story Father regarding the bumper sticker. I have 2 stop abortion ones on my car and when I drive on a 3 lane highway, I try to always stay in the middle lane so cars on either side can read the stickers. Also when I park in Manhattan I always thank God when I find a parking spot right at the end of a block so all the people crossing the street from 3 directions read the message. I am sure my car has a few extra scratches due to this, but it is so worth it. We need to fight the culture of death at every moment. Thanks for your vocation and words!!

Dear Fr. Roemer, We have a bumper sticker on our old Buick that says; "Smile, your Mom chose life" with the smiling logo. We have gotten many thumbs up, a few of the opposite gesture, and many smiles and approving comments. It works! Many thanks for what you and all the friars and sisters have done. May God and His Holy Mother continue to bless and guide your efforts. May you and your have a happy and holy Christmas.
