Praying for You!

I am in the midst of signing more than 600 copies of Navigating the Interior Life: Spiritual Direction and the Journey to God to send out to the hungry faithful who made a donation to secure a copy. As I write a note on each and sign them I am also praying for each person who will read them. I am supernaturally aware that the words I write are not just words, they come with and through the Holy Spirit because of prayer and His promise.

I am a bit overwhelmed by all of this. It is a privilege beyond words that I (and our faithful volunteers) have the opportunity to serve so many of God’s people – to serve you. I have prayed for years that He would allow me to serve His people to better know and love Him and He has answered in abundance. I am humbled to tears. Thank you for those who donate, and pray, and tell others in order make all of this possible and who by doing so, also participate in bringing hundreds of thousands of Catholics into a deeper relationship with Christ.

Yours in Christ – Dan
