Happy Solemnity of Corpus Christi!

Theresa and I received text messages from Lisa, Giannine and Judi today from Tanzania.   

They are very appreciative of all of the prayers and support for their travel, pilgrimage, and the upcoming Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Mission that they will be leading.  They send greetings and Love to All.  

It was a wonderful gift to hear from them today as well as see the amazing pictures that they were able to post.  

Here are the pictures and text as posted on FB for your perusal:



Wonderful day in Moshi, Tanzania, for the procession of the Eucharist on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. 2-3000 people attended. The day began with Mass celebrated by Bishop Amani who led the procession. It lasted 6 hours!!! The procession began at Christ the King Cathedral and ended at another parish, about 3.5 kilometers away.

Continued prayers for the Team and the upcoming Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Mission!


Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us…

     Rosa Mystica, pray for us….

I awoke this morning to find that I had received a wonderful text from Lisa during the night!  

She said:
"Love all the messages.  We haven't had Internet for a week and we are stopping at the local Internet Cafe that has wifi….thank you for all of the prayers - so many incredible blessings"

I popped onto FB and found that, in addition to the text, Lisa was able to post some pictures with accompanying text:

"The Bishop Emeritus of the diocese of Tororo Uganda and the Uganda Prolife Team under the diocese of Tororo ...what a powerful meeting we had this morning... thank you God and thank you Bishop Stika for all your support and prayers as we brought greetings to the bishop here...the two worlds came together in a powerful way thank you Bishop Stika and to all for all the prayers…"

"The Uganda team who has organized this pro-life conference has been phenomenal...we met with the Bishop Emeritus of the diocese today very fruitful meeting in so many ways!!!they plan to organize a conference under the Uganda bishops for next year please keep this dedicated group of committed and passionate Pro-Life youth leaders in your prayers…"


Here are some more pictures that Lisa posted of the Pro-Life Mission that she and Giannine presented:

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

I received a post from Father William Oruko with the accompanying message and pictures:

"Good morning everybody. I want to share some of the photos from the Archdiocese of Tororo, Uganda. Paul Muyiya, a broadcaster at Radio Maria at St. Austin Parish in Mbale, Uganda, emailed the photos to me. Paul (holding the Sacred Heart of Jesus image in one of the photos) and others are attending the conference too. They met and accompanied Lisa and Giannine in the first journeys and talks to different schools."

Please continue your prayers for them...

And, ALWAYS, Thank you for your prayers, support and encouragement for this apostolate!  And, in all ways, 

                                          Let the Work Be His!

Quick Update: Ginianne and Lisa's Bags Arrived

Happy Feast of St. Anthony!  The Patron of Finding Lost Items!

I was blessed to wake up this morning to a text from Judi, a member of the Team that will be flying to Tanzania to join Lisa, Ginianne and Pamela next week for the last leg of the pilgrimage - to assist and work at the large Mission of the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Judi let me know that she called a contact on our Africa contact list (good thinking Judi!  And duh to me!) and she discovered that all is well - Ginianne arrived safely and Lisa received her bags.

When I sent the blog post yesterday, I received an email from a friend before I went to bed who wrote: "I bet she gets them tomorrow - the Feast of St. Anthony".    I have no idea when Lisa received them but we discovered that she found them on this wonderful feast for this amazing and precious saint!

GOD IS GOOD!  ALL THE TIME!

Many Thanks for all of your prayers for Lisa and Ginianne!

Let the Work Be His Always…

In Thanksgiving for Prayer

                                                                               +

Dear Friends, 

I wanted to send a note of thanksgiving to all of you that offered prayer after reading or learning of Lisa's lost luggage (including many important and necessary mission materials).  

I have absolutely no idea whether or not Lisa received her luggage, but, I know that the prayers were very, very much appreciated! 

All of us know that our prayers are heard and answered by God and we try in our best way to let go and trust Him in all things.  And so, without knowing about the actual outcome of the Lisa's luggage situation, we can be confident that all of the prayers offered for her intentions and on her behalf were instrumental in allowing her work to be as successful as it can and will be - luggage or not.

So, I personally want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers.

Yours Sincerely In Christ, 

Mary

PS  If you could please continue to keep Lisa and Ginianne in your prayers - 

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have Mercy on us…
   Rosa Mystica, pray for us...
