"The last 6 years were the most extraordinary time of my life I'm so thankful to God, Father Marie Dominique Philippe, and my brothers of the Community of St. John for this profound encounter with Jesus and experience His love of St. John wrote..: "God is love" (1 Jn 4:8) and that's what I've seen in this precious time I have received so many graces the words of Mary, I can say is. "The Almighty has great things done for me, holy is his name! " (LK 1:49). "I am happy that he has brought me so far and I am on my way forward with Him."
