Specifically I prayed for some inventory for my company to sell and to give some work to both myself & a parishioner at a local Capuchin friary. We found ourselves last week in my van on our way to San Francisco to pick up the inventory & we both laughed with about it. Now we pray harder!<br /><br />Pray harder & the man of your dreams will show up soon enough..<br /><br />JMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857216796720971555.post-29689924199803394802014-05-18T14:07:56.406-07:002014-05-18T14:07:56.406-07:00Hello, I've just discovered your blog through ...Hello, I've just discovered your blog through the lovely story of Padre Pio and the baby you put up. Just read this post. Don't worry, Jesus will send you a hubby when you and he are ready for each other. Just 'pray in the intention' and who cares about 'hot-shot guys' anyway? It's great to see such a strong young woman as yourself witness to the Faith through journalism. Wow, so jealous, pics with Chevy Chase.... :-) Loved the Audrey Hepburn quote.

I was just thinking that since you spent sometime with Boston Catholics recently, you might be able to interview some of them for their reactions to the whole thing...not sure if that would be interesting to anyone at all, but it has been quite the controversy in America for the past week and a half. Personally, I am happy to see you keep writing about romance and I'm sure you don't need any story ideas. ;) Cheers. John H.

If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also." John 15:18 Perhaps you can count your success by how many worldlings run scared from you. John H.

I'll say Mary, speaking as a former hot-shot who married a then fellow lapsed-Catholic for all the usual pagan reasons (now annulled) -- it would now never occur to me, having been converted and informed, to even date someone who did not have a deeply felt sense of the Faith. Which narrows the dating pool considerably I realize, but for the sake of eternity...what else is there to do? Welcome to love during wartime. You are a gem. Pax Domini. John H.
