Quick Congrats
Hey all! Say hello to my friend, Rachel:
She and I were instant and close friends my first year in St. Louis. She was at the time very much in love with the finest man I have ever before met and likely ever will and I just watched via streaming live video her becoming engaged!
My Rachel, whom I walked through the rain, with whom I sang in the choir, with whom we would go on and on about how awesome St. Athanasius’ “On the Incarnation Is” and so much else that year, is now SISTER Rachel Marie of the Eucharistic Lamb! She has received her habit, donned her new veil and will, God-willing wear her bridal dress for all her life. She still has several years left before she is finally professed and wed to Our Lord, but she is well on her way and my goodness, was her face BEAMING! I’ve never seen a more thrilled and happy bride-to-be in all my life.
Not that I’ve had a lot of life to boast of yet, I suppose!
So congrats, Sr. Rachel! I’m sure the two of you will be very, very happy together, perpetually poor (but eternally rich, having Christ!), perpetually virgin (but never lacking in love and companionship in Him!), and perpetually obedient (yet being completely free in Him!)!
In a couple of days I will try and wrap up my retreat synopsis and after that get started on all your great questions!

Very nice!!
Congratulations to Sister Rachel. And having read this entry, I now know of two people besides myself who have read and enjoyed Saint Athanasius’ On The Incarnation.
Congrats to her
Congratulations to her!
A surprise ending! I have heard On The Incarnation is quite wonderful, but I have not read it.
I love the way you unfolded her news. Well put! And congratulations to her.
a joyful congrat’s and im glad you to have a faithful friendship with each other that is God-centered.

That’s so wonderful! It’s great to hear when the church inherits a new bride (or groom)! Congratulations to her and to you for being an awesome friend and I’m sure a blessed inspiration!
