Title: Blessings
Post by dionysiusaeropagite on Oct 15th, 2008 at 12:00am
Dear friends in Christ,

Thank you all so much for all the support.  I honestly didn't know how I was going to make it through this semester at school, and then God showed me this website.  I have been truly blessed.  

I have some exciting news to share.

After receiving the sacrament of anointment from a priest here at the seminary, I have had four consecutive nights without a CH.  I'm not entirely sure whether it is due to the sacrament, or if it is due to the prednisone ... and Honestly, I don't care.

Just so you all know, Today, October 15 is the feast of St. Teresa of Avila.  

In the Catholic Tradition, St. Teresa is the patroness of Headaches.  As a seminarian, I have begun a Novena, a nine-day dedication prayer.  In this novena, I will request the intercession of St. Teresa for all those who suffer headaches, especially us Clusterheads.

If anyone here would like a little more information about St. Teresa, feel free to email me (my email is in my profile) or check the following website.

God Bless you, God Keep you!

Joe

  Good on ya Joe.  I couldn't be happier for you.  


   St. Teresa was my patron saint for confirmation.   She has always come through for me.   Every single time.


Emjoy every single moment you spend being pain-free.  Go out and smell the roses and get your head out of those books....Father-to-be.   ;)

Good.   :)  It isn't the fact of our headaches--it's our response to them, and how we decide to live.  You've decided, it seems.    

I'm sure you'll make a fine priest.  I do know that I (for one) consider your presence an asset to this community--one that may very well make a world of difference to someone here one day.  We call it "paying it forward".  

I'm glad to hear that you're doing well.  

All the best,

George

Linda, I swear we're gonna end up being cousins....

St Teresa is MY patron saint at baptism. Do you think that was an omen of things to come? That's spooky...

Glad you're having better days Joe. And thank you for the prayers. To be honest - I'm doing better lately. I think you're going to make a fine priest.

Hugs BD
