You stood with me and my husband Jimmy through a very rough time in the desert, and guided us to the other side. You also reminded me of the Church’s teaching that my sufferings, united to Jesus on the Cross, have value. Lastly, you are not afraid to be real about your own struggles, and to speak from your heart! Be assured of my prayers every day!
