Feast of Theresa of Avila As a family we are experiencing deep
purification which brings with it chaos and suffering. The latest episode has been raging since the middle of June 2016. As of last evening a deep peace has settled into our hearts and our home. My first reaction is to be so grateful to the people who pray for us. To feel unworthy of their time and love. Community, were would we be with out it. Humility, Humility, Humility! Accept the grace accept the love, pray for others. A few years back Jesus asked me to form a cult of women espoused to Purity. He has led me all of my life. This day I will say that I know He directed me to fall in love with and marry my husband Bill, I Am also sure he directed me to my present spiritual director but another wise man was given to me in my life and that is Dr. Anthony Lilles. It was the Mother of God who called me to read his book, "Hidden Mountain, Secret Garden." After watching this interview on EWTN I am going to try to meet him or speak with him some how. If it is the will of God it will happen. As I watch him and listen to him I see the depth of surety with which he speaks of the Saints and the mystical life. It would be marvelous to sit at his feet and just listen. I hope anyone who reads this will enjoy this interview as much as I have.
God is always with us.
