Hi Fr Benedict, Thank you to you and your Friars for such inspirational daily messages. I go online every day to check them and makes me feel that I don't live quite so far away. I'm coming over to visit your Sisters in December and would love to meet you if possible when I come. I'm really looking forward to coming over and spending some good quality time with the Sisters. Thanks once again for your ministry and may God bless you in all you do. In Christ, - Anne,

Dear Father Benedict, Thank you for your September 19th column. We look forward to hearing from you each Sunday. I think we should remember that we are all like the ripples of a pebble thrown into a pond. We never know how a word or gesture from us will effect another person. As you said we may not see it, but we should trust that God has a purpose and plan for it. We sometimes forget how small and insignificant we are in comparison to God and His great plan. - Our prayers are with you as you continue to recover! - Tiffany, Monroe Michigan

Dear Fr. Benedict - Once again you have given us a wonderful insight in this meditation. My prayer every morning is that Our Lord help me to take one more baby step toward the holiness of life that He is calling me to. This prayer has been given to me by His grace alone. I have come to see, ever since He gave me the grace to recite this prayer, that He has been leading me more and more to search out ways in which I can be of service to Him in serving others. My life has taken on so much more meaning as a result. What an awesome God we have, that He gives all of us so many opportunities and so much grace to strive to fulfill His wonderful will for our lives. My prayer for us all is that we continue to be open to His will so that we may all come to know, as well as we can in our finite state, the assignment He has for us. Be assured dear Fr. that I will continue to pray for you and your wonderful friars and sisters. Your sister in Christ, Michelle, SFO, Windsor,Ontario, Canada

Dear Father Benedict, thank you for the message on the gift of courage. All of us during our life will need that special gift of courage. Our hearts tell us what we need to do, but at times the personal pain that it causes us makes us turn away. This is the time to reach out, to cry out from the bottom of our hearts and soul to our Lord for help. He is always there if we ask. After we accomplish our challenge, there is always a feeling of Him saying "job well done," a warm comfortable hug. It is good to remember to send that glory back to Him with loving thanks and gratitude. For without him we are nothing. Always in my prayers, - Gloria, Huntington Beach, California

Dear Father Benedict, Fervent prayers for your full recuperation. Humbly, Rosa. - Chicago, Illinois
