Comments from Fr. Lester
“It can feel as though this God of the universe has lost interest in us and is hiding. Nothing could be further from the truth. He is out searching for us. Love is not Loved. An American woman experiences the wounds of Jesus.”
- pg. 13.
“It is Jesus who saves. It is Jesus who heals. It is Jesus who answers prayers as the Holy Spirit works in the person who is in prayer for others.”
- pg.23
“The words of St. Francis should burn in our hearts as they do to Samantha’s: Love is not Loved.” Jesus gave his all yet, is few are grateful and respond to that love. Samantha’s witness invites us all to be active members of Christ’s mystical body, the Church.”
- pg. 27
“Priests have also been the link with the local bishop, keeping him informed of these developments. It has been so important that everything had been lived out under the protective umbrella of the obedience to the bishop, who is the chief shepherd in the diocese.”
- pg10.
