This audio is a great reflection of God at work in his people.  God does reveal his omni presence when two or more are gathered in his holy name.  This audio in particular holds great meaning to me because some of the members that shared their thoughts to the questions asked have gone onward to receive their heavenly reward.  God placed me in a group of holy men and holy women whose lives exuded service in the Lord.  They desired to live a life of holiness, prayerfulness, and servitude.  Not just during the time I was sent to be in their fraternity but from the very beginning of their lives, they were totally devoted as children of God.  Being in their company was a joyful time for me, I could always related to my elders, and greatly respected their role as leaders within the church leading the next generation in truth and in light of Jesus and his holy mother Mary.  Yes, as I write this reflection, I think of God wanting me to be within the company of these wonderful human beings, although it was only for a short period of time.  I do remember being fore warned that any one who joined the fraternity, once they became professed, they were sent by God to another place to serve our brothers and sisters.  At first I didnt believe it and then not even five years later we were asked to move away.  I am so fortunate that when the idea came to my mind, it was Gods doing, I remember thinking at the time, what an awesome idea, thank you Lord, I will present this lesson to the group and document their responses as best as I can .  In February of 2015 I was once again inspired by God to invite my father to one of my meetings and I introduced dad to everyone, it was a day to remember, I thought this was too good to be true, having my dad present to see my friends and participate in one of our monthly gatherings was a treat of great remembrance for me.  Dad and I walked the holy grounds, went into the church, and enjoyed viewing the grotto of the Blessed Mother, and the burial site of the founding sisters who taught the catholic faith to all the children over a hundred years ago.  We prayed in silence and then we walked over to the stations of the cross and a local lady was kind in taking a picture of dad and I in front of the cross.  I still look back on the videos and pictures of that special day never realizing that six years later our Lord would come to take my father back to himself.  I wonder what my dad thought of that day seeing my life prosper.  He did call me a woman of the cloth.  Its been fifteen months now since my life has changed drastically without seeing my dads handsome face, or receiving his phone calls every week.  I hope and pray that he is smiling over me and he is proud of my podcast.  Right before his passing dad listened in on one or two of them.  I was very excited to share with him my newfound appreciation for writing about the catholic faith and in bringing souls back to Jesus.  My purpose continues and I believe dad is praying for me as I am preparing to become Temporary Promised within the Dominican Family of Regina Paces.  Oh yes, Saint Francis has introduced me to Saint Dominic and they are both instrumental in assisting me to further my studies within the catholic faith.  Our blessed Mother Mary continues to be the beacon of light illuminating my path all the way to heaven.  I pray that you too are greatly inspired to find our Lord through scripture, through time, through truth, and do something wonderful through the gift of finding Him.  And share that joy with the world.  And unite yourself forever with the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords.  Amen.
