Dear Father Anthony,

I know you probably receive gads of e-mails. I just had to share this good news with you! I know I wrote to you at one point in my discernment. I had left a community of Sisters in April. It was really the darkest hours I have ever experienced. After three years of being with them I have never heard from them. This really cut to my heart. I know what it means when Jesus say's "a bruised reed I will not break." Through two wonderful Oblates I was able to get through this time. I do tell them they definitely showed the light of Christ in my darkest of hours. I am now rejoicing to tell you I am going for a second visit to a community that I think may be the right one! I can only tell you that one has to persevere; Our Lord does hear us and knows what is best for us. It is such a beautiful gift!!! Thank you Father, as I know you gave me encouragement and hope during this difficult time. May God Always Bless You!
