Fruitfulness of Prayer

 "missionary fruitfulness is the result of the community's prayer"  Pope Benedict XVI

I love this statement from the Holy Father.   I have been experiencing this truth in a tangible way.  Thank you so much for all of your prayers...... they are truly yielding miracles.   As I have been meeting and praying with people, I have consistently heard the same comment... that somehow through my coming they have been encouraged that God cares about them and that He has heard their prayers.  Although I am the one who is physically present here, they feel the love and support of the entire community back home.   Such a sense of communion is a powerful revelation of God's love and fidelity.    

I am so grateful for my time here, I feel as though God has forever extended my spiritual family to include these beautiful people.   It has been as though we've known each other for our entire lives.... that is a great gift.

Thanks again for your prayers.... know that I love you and am praying for you.
