GOD BLESS HER.I am sure she and her family all have a billion beautiful stories to tell us about living as a Catholic in AMERICA.
Where are my roots planted? This is a question I have never been able to answer well. I grew up in upstate NY, but always wanted to get out and see more and do more. After discovering my love for travel and the Spanish language, I was able to channel my curiosity first with 2 months of travel in Ecuador, later 10 months of volunteering/travel in Ecuador, Peru and Argentina. I still want to go back to meet more wonderful people, learn more about the culture and learn Portuguese this time in Brasil. Since being back in the US I have moved to NYC, and am very happy here. I don’t know if the Lord will call me back to upstate NY later, but I know that right now I do not feel drawn to plant roots there. I am open to the Lord’s will and willing to go wherever he leads me, and trust that wherever he calls me, he will show me good people and new and exciting ways to deepen my faith.
I am listening to the words of Bishop Fulton Sheen on EWTN.The Priest delivering his words and applying them to the present time is truely close to the God. How could I have lived in this world for 74 years and allowed the beauty of marriage between a man and women and the children that followed with the marriage being for eternity and blessed by our creator to disappear from the face of the earth.Forgive us God for we know not what we do.
Madeline,the previous e-mail was written in your honor for all that you have done in living the Words of Jesus Christ for 86 years.God bless you and your magnificent family.
