News from our President Dear Sisters, About 12 years ago, when my family
was living at Ft. Hood, Texas, a Lutheran friend of mine said, "What
is it with you Catholics? Why do you always have Jesus' dead body hanging
on a cross? You can't miss it when you walk into your churches. It's
so gross and disgusting." Like my friend, I too see a tortured body
that at times grieves me to look upon. And yet, with the eyes of faith,
focused by a Catholic upbringing, I also see a compassionate God telling
me how important I am to him. Jesus said, "There is no greater love
than to lay down one's life for a friend." In the garden of Gethsemane,
when Jesus fell prostrate in prayer with sweat drops of blood, and felt
disheartened when he found his disciples sleeping, I believe he looked
across the expanse of time and saw my life and yours. He could clearly
see our lives unfold as children and adults. He knew we would join together
as YLI institute and united by the Holy Spirit, earnestly struggle to
build up the Father's kingdom on this earth. Jesus lovingly suffered
through his passion and crucifixion for you and me. The crucifix serves
as a visible reminder of how precious we are in his sight. Love and friendship, Jennifer |

Thank You Ladies! Because of your generosity, we have donated 123 baby items plus 16 dozen diapers to A Woman's Friend in Marysville. You brought receiving blankets, quilts, clothing, bathing items and so much more. A Woman's Friend is very appreciative and will give all of those things to young mothers in need. Fourteen of you joined me at the baby shower to play silly games, eat fattening desserts and share child-raising suggestions. Thank you for your participation and thanks to those who sent gifts but were unable to attend. I'm still collecting tips for new moms for a booklet, so if you would like to be "publisher", please send them to me. Kathy Anderson |
