I told you awhile back
that I would tell you of some events in our family soon. Sorry for the
delay. In 2001, our oldest of 5 children was arrested on drug charges.
He was sentenced to 6 months in a live-in Salvation Army drug treatment
program. Thus, he ended 23 years of drug making, selling, and
taking. This was before we knew of the
Marian Mantle Group.
He is now married, has a new baby (7 months), gainfully employed, very
active in Couples for Christ. Since we have been with
the Marian Mantle Group,
2 more of our children have returned to church. This makes praying the
rosary every night more meaningful. Last Ash Wednesday, when I heard
that our eldest daughter went to services, I was absolutely floored.
Then when I heard she went to the Cathedral in Sacramento to the Lenten
Communal Reconcilation service, I just couldn't hold back the tears. Now
we have 2 more to go. One is totally away and says she doesn't believe
anymore. The other, I'm not sure where he stands. I thank Fr David for
introducing us to you and your group. |

St Monica has been
a blessing for me. My son was very far from the Church and even from
God. I asked St monica for her prayers and he is now a wonderful man of
God. God worked through his wife who was also very agnostic. Something
moved her and within a year they had their marriage blessed and were
back in the Church. He is even a 4th degree Knight of Columbus. had I
been asked if this were possible I'm sure I would have been skeptical
but shame on me. ALL things are possible with God who never ceases to
amaze me with His mercy. |

Good News: A very
dear person I know left the church when she married her husband many
years ago. Her daughter married a Catholic and through the RCIA program
became a Catholic before she married. Now my dear friend told me that
her son is dating a very wonderful Catholic girl and he also is taking
Catholic instructions. Now for my Friend, may the Holy Spirit give her
the grace to follow her children. |

You mentioned Pentecost miracles. One of my dear
friends in our prayer group has had the annulment of her previous
marriage granted after more than 30 years of trying to get this done.
She visited with our bishop a while back and he told her it would be
accomplished by Pentecost. She got word a few days after Pentecost
Sunday. This same woman saw a Christmas miracle when her sister
returned to the Sacraments. God is working! |

My oldest daughter called on Good Friday asking if I knew when church
services were held...That's a small, but positive step!!! I truly
believe our prayers will be answered. |

I attend the prayer meeting at my church. It is starting to have
effects on my son and his wife. I'm so happy. Thank you again, and I
sure enjoy those prayer meetings. |

I just wanted to let you know that God
does indeed work in mysterious ways. My brother, who left without
telling anyone where he went, came home. His journey took him to a
Catholic Church a couple states away, where he was able to receive the
sacrament on Confession (the first in many many years). So thank you to
everyone who prayed for my family and please continue to do so. |

Our Lady has been busy. We hold our
prayer meetings in the rectory basement. At our last meeting, we said a
special prayer that Mary would hear and answer our prayers. We were
saying the Joyful Mysteries. On the second decade, the Visitation, one
of our members say a vision of Our Lady. She was smiling. The member
was too moved to tell us until after our meeting. WE feel she was very
blessed. We are grateful that Mary chose to give us a sign that she was
listening to our prayer. God Bless |

I am with the St. Teresa group that meets
on Thursday evenings. I always look forward to our prayer group. I
always leave there uplifted. I feel we have all grown so close to each
other. I thank God for bringing Barbara Sanborn into my life. She is
such a beautiful person and a true friend. God bless you.

Shortly after I joined this
prayer group, I told my mom about it, and a short time later I called
her after one of our prayer sessions, and she was pretty excited. My
niece asked a parishioner in her town when they had Mass. She would like
to start going so her children could be raised in the Catholic Church.
This last weekend my sister said she was going to try to go in and help
her get started going to church. Nothing has happened yet, but they are
definitely filled with the idea and intention. When I started praying
with this group, I never even thought about them, but then God does work
in mysterious ways. God bless you! |

hearing MaryAnn speak
my mom began the rosary novena. My sister and
family have been coming to mass for several weeks now.

I am
filled with hope and gratefulness
as my daughter and her husband are returning to the church. Her teenage
children are baptized Catholics, but had no Catholic education, nor have
they received any of the other sacraments. They are both now enrolled in
classes for confirmation and hopefully will receive first Reconciliation and
Communion in the next several months. I pray, and ask for prayers that this
all goes well.

My son
and his wife
decided to attend midnight mass with the
family on Christmas. Last year we sent them an email telling them we’d love
to have them with us if they ever decided they would like to come along. We
have said nothing else about it, but have been praying the rosary novena for
their return to the Church for over a year. Don’t know what they will do
after Christmas, but this is a start of answered prayer.

My cousin who had married
outside the
Church 42 years ago, has returned after the death of her husband. She began
her road back by praying
the rosary.
