Help needed for our house renovation!
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
It has been a pleasure to serve all of you through my daily videos, reflections and poems. Your supportive comments and emails are very encouraging, and I am glad this service has been useful to you and your families.
Once again, I would like to make my annual request for help. I know that many of you have already been extremely generous in showing your financial support for our house renovation here in DC, so for those who have already given, thank you!! (I also ask that my friends from the NY Tri-state focus on supporting the padres in Rye, NY) Please consider being an ANGEL FOR A DAY, by using the link below to make a tax deductible donation*:

Thankfully, we have finished the first three phases of our house renovation which include a new and re-structured roof, a new chapel (pictured below), a new living room, dining area, conference room and youth team meeting area, a newly paved driveway, and the total transformation of the living area for the Regnum Christi Mission Corps. Phase 4, the FINAL PHASE of this effort, will focus on replacing all the bathrooms and laying down flooring on our ten bedroom wing that was built nearly 30 years ago.
Any support that you can give would be deeply appreciated, and I am, as always, very grateful for your generosity. Be assured of my prayers for you and your families!

Putting God at the center?
Trust in Providence
“Come what may, I am bound to think that all things are ordered for the best; though when the good is a furlong off, and we with our beetle eyes can only see three inches, it takes some confidence in general principles to pull us through.” — Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Stark Munro Letters
Leaning into God?
“In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction.” St. John of the Cross
Jesus showed us this example in Gethsemane…
Meeting your spouse’s needs…
“If you love me as you say you do,’ she whispered, ‘make it so that I am at peace.” Anna Karenina- (Leo Tolstoy). “Love” is going where your spouse needs you to go and consciously meeting his or her needs, not how “you” would prefer to love your spouse…
