"I just wanted to thank you for developing the Prayerful Remembrance service. The service we hosted last month was moving and beautiful.  I was pleased to have around 85 people attend.  I also invited local Christan organizations with post abortion reconciliation programs to have a table afterwards with information.  Thank you again for developing the prayer service and for sharing it so that others may experience its prayerfulness and powerfulness." Rebecca Neimerg

Theresa,

As others have noted in their reviews….all of our Bethesda family, affiliates, retreat attendees, priests and seminarians were deeply moved by the most beautiful Inspired “Afternoon of Prayer and Intercession”. On my part, the residual graces continue to flow into my spirit and the joy of having shared and received this gift

Through you remains a treasure to me and to us all. Thank YOU for saying “YES” to Jesus Christ and being open to the Holy Spirit. We so wish you lived closer that

These few holy hours in the presence of our Eucharistic Lord and all components of your retreat could be repeated in parishes throughout Columbus. You have been so kind and gracious to not only share with us…but travel to be with and to guide us through the journey of family healing. Thank you.

Theresa,

I just wanted to let you know that the Afternoon of Prayer on Sunday, Oct 12th was wonderful! We did not have as many people as we would have liked, but we were up against a lot of pro-life activities in the Diocese, not to mention the Cleveland Browns vs Pittsburgh Steelers football game in Cleveland. (Our biggest rival).

The Bishop processed in to the Taize Chant O Lord Hear our Prayer (with violin & piano accompaniment) as the server incensed the church, We lit purple & white candles in front of a large, beautiful Divine Mercy picture during the Testimonial/Intercessory prayer.  Purple symbolizing repentance & white symbolizing forgiveness & healing.

Thank you again for your ministry, for putting together this Afternoon of Prayer and for so willingly and graciously sharing it with everyone.Thank you also for your support and doing the rush job on the flyer!

I know that hearts were touched & many people’s eyes were opened to the long shadow cast by abortion.  I think everyone went to reconciliation,which was beautiful. We had 3 priests and the Bishop. I know our Blessed God Bless you and your ministry, you will always be in my prayers and who knows, Holy Rosary may present it again in the future.

Peace, Sue Andrews, Cleveland, Ohio
