Dear Pete & Tricia,
I want to thank you for a great weekend. I really feel, as though God wanted me to be on this weekend. The way it unfolded, I got a thought laying in bed Monday night/Tuesday morning I should go on the March for Life. I reached out to Jenny, and by later Tuesday morning I was going on the trip! I have been on the March for Life in past years, but never for the weekend with the Life Fest and the Summit!
It was so much more than I could have imagined. The beautiful mass at the Eaglebank Arena with the Sisters of Life was magnificent. You could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. Everyone was reverent and focused on the God! They really wanted to be there.
Then the March was awesome. It is invigorating to see so many other people, fighting for the precious babies who are aborted, the Holy Innocence, together with one voice! At home on a day-to-day basis, you feel alone, but when we come together in numbers, you feel inspired and ignited! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to many of the people give their testimonies….especially you guys. I have heard your story a few years ago, but it impacted me much more this time around. I’m sure there were different parts I hadn’t heard before, plus seeing the slides….mostly because I got to spend time with you and got to know you better. I met your beautiful family and I feel honored to know you all.
The Basilica was UNBELIEVABLE. I must got back there. I cannot believe how AMAZING it was. I was walking about in disbelief. I don’t think I have seen anything so beautiful before. And I don’t feel I got to spend enough time there. I was just walking around crying. It just moved me in such a way. If something can be that beautiful here on Earth and made by man, can you imagine what heaven will look like?!
Lastly, and most importantly, and I touched on this already, it’s the people that I got to meet, some for the first time, some I have met briefly before, and others I have known for years, but the time together has just bonded us even closer! I was sad for our time to come to an end, but look forward to seeing everyone soon.
I know A LOT of hard work went into planning this weekend. Thank you is not enough. It is hard work, stressful and just plain tiring….
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I enjoyed every minute of it!
God Bless You and God Bless All of your efforts.
