Alfonse,<br />Thanks be to God for putting you in such good care, and how sweet it is to know that we are always in the Lord's embrace...we only need to relax into His arms. We are so glad that everything went well, and what a blessing to have Deacon Randy with you! You will continue to be in our prayers.<br />I am so thankful that the Holy Spirit still used you to share another beautiful reflection with all of us, even in the midst of trial. Your encouragement is inspiring!<br />God bless!<br />Jenny and the guysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-39116463197899355692011-03-15T04:52:16.424-05:002011-03-15T04:52:16.424-05:00I like the art.

It's the part after the comma that is illuminating. That's the most encouraging thing I've heard. I think I get overwhelmed with the command part and didn't think that this is something I can really do. We can do it!<br />TonyTony Scalconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-50555702569579304042011-03-14T21:36:36.778-05:002011-03-14T21:36:36.778-05:00Dear father Alfonse,

The Catholic Church is always willing to open the doors to everyone, no matter where we come from, what our past is, or what our faults are.<br /><br />I'm glad that everything went well and I hope you are now recovered from the operation. Take care and God bless you always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-86071323648549898222011-03-14T21:12:12.313-05:002011-03-14T21:12:12.313-05:00Oh dear father you are in our prayers each and eve...Oh dear father you are in our prayers each and every day!<br />So you had your tiny taste of passion today!

Alfonse-<br /><br />Your response is exactly like mine. I don't want to know what they are doing until it is over.<br /><br />And then, a neatly typed report will do. I don't need to see any pictures like the ones the colo-rectal surgeon sent.<br /><br />I'm glad it went well. We missed you this morning at Mass.<br /><br />(((Hugs!)))<br /><br />janJannoreply@blogger.com
