Hello Everyone:
First, I want to thank all of you for your prayers. I can’t tell you how happy I am. I’m afraid that with so many friends praying in so many different parts of the USA and other countries abound the world, it is difficult to be humble. Yet, your prayers are humbling in a very good way.
Yesterday, I began to move around again, after two weeks of being in bed. I have to admit that I feel older. I get tired easily. My condition cannot be cured, but doctors say that they hope to keep it under control.
Your prayers inspire me to try harder too. As I told my spiritual director, I ask for one thing, to offer each discomfort for a single child threatened by abortion. I figure,with so many little discomforst, many unborn children will benefit.
I must share with all ofyou, that despite the fact that my body is weak, my mind is clear, my heart is filled with compassion for those who have no one to hold their hand or care for them, and my soul is ready. I’m working very hard to stay in a state of grace and close to God through prayer and love.
I just wanted to give of you an update. I appreciate your prayers and apologize for any inconvenience that I may have caused you.
Fraternally,
Br. JR, OSF
