I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work sharing glimpses and reflecting through light and word the hidden lives of this faithful community.

It is easy to imagine convents such as this no longer exist but as your articlea and photos show, they are "not museums but very much alive" - yes alive in the fullest sense, alive in Christ, animated by the Holy Spirit. Your work is very much a true apostolate and bears the mark of someone who himself believes and loves God in his bride the Church.

May God greatly bless your work! I have put you in my prayers and will be grateful for any prayers you might offer for me also to be a more faithful follower of our Lord and that I grow daily in the knowledge and love of God.

Another gem — both the religious community and your story, Jeff. George Bernanos wrote, “Grace is everywhere.” St. Therese said, “Everything is Grace.” This offers confirmation.

Thank you Jeffrey for giving us a glimpse into life at the Holy Family Motherhouse.

Beautiful. So much beauty in all of our convents, the marvelous work of the Holy Spirit, his mercy in our lives, his incredible love for his brides.
