I am nearing the end of my Marian Consecration for the month of May. It will end May the 30th and I will celebrate it on the 31st, the feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Mother. That date coincides with a healing that I received 2 years ago when I was in the hospital with an intestinal obstruction. A friend brought me water from Lourdes, and in this way, the Blessed Mother visited me all the way from France. The irony was that 3 years prior to that, I had been in Lourdes but had been unable to bathe in the waters because of some situations that came up. Now the Virgin Mary came to me and healed me with the water from Lourdes. I was released the following Sunday. Praise God and His and our Blessed Mother!!!
Consecrate yourself to Mary!!!

Pastoral Year Institute
The 16 seminarians who are on pastoral year have been called together to share about how God worked in our lives. We have come from Austin, Dallas, Victoria, and Houston to speak about how the people of God have worked in our lives as well as how the Holy Spirit has worked in our lives. Our general experience has been quite fantastic. It has been an honor to share with these men what we have done and what the Holy Spirit has done through us. This is just another small step in me getting closer to Jerusalem and eventually to the priesthood.

What a beautiful party it was for Fr. Fred at St. Paul's on his 20th anniversary of priesthood.

Jerusalem My Destiny
A city set up on a hill
Today I received my confirmation letter from Tantur that gives me a picture of what I will be doing while I am in Jerusalem. It tells me what to bring and what to expect from this beautiful program.
This will be four beautiful weeks that includes 2 hour classes in the morning with planned excursions almost every day with the exception of a few weekends. There will even be a 5 day excursion to Galilee. Probably the most exciting thing will be meeting all the people that will be going on this program.
For instance on the first day:
9-11:30 orientation
1:15-5pm Trip, Perspectives on Jerusalem
5:30 pm evening prayer
Free time in the evening.
This is pretty much the routine for the whole 28 days that I will be there. More updates coming soon...
