Thank you Sister Donna for such a beautiful presentation about St. Teresa of Avila and about the Prayer of the Heart.

The beauty of the Holy Spirit shines on you throughout the presentation! It was very illuminating & a great blessing for me as I am working on strengthening my prayer life, esp to pray in the Spirit.

[717cross]

O Lord, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.

But I have calmed and quieted my soul,

like a child quieted at his mothers breast;

like a child that is quieted is my soul.

Psalm 131

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." Mt 24:35

Thank you for being a blessing and making these exhortations become alive in my heart. Much love to you!
