Mikaela Dear Sisters, Peace be with you in Christ. My name is Mikaela, and I am writing to you from Australia with a humble prayer request. I would be so grateful if you could remember me and someone very dear to my heart in your prayers. About a year and a half ago, I met a man named Matthew. One afternoon I had gone to my parish church hoping to spend some time in silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. As I approached the church, the doors, which were usually wide open, were only slightly ajar. I gently looked through the opening and saw Matthew seated among a small group of people. Our eyes met for just a brief moment, but something in my heart shifted in a way I cannot fully explain. I went to the pews to pray, trying to gather my thoughts, and quietly asked my Heavenly Father that, if it pleased Him, I might be introduced to this man. As I was leaving the church, our parish priest unexpectedly stopped me and introduced us. Looking back now, I have often thought of that moment with gratitude. Over the following year and a half, I experienced many small moments that seemed to draw our paths together. Throughout that time Matthew was serving at our parish as part of his seminary formation. He comes from a deeply faithful Catholic family, and I believe one of his siblings is also a priest. He is now in his sixth year of seminary and has since received candidacy. As I came to know him, my affection for him grew. There were moments when I wondered whether he might also have cared for me, but I never knew for certain. Whatever my own feelings, I never wanted to interfere with his discernment or his vocation. I never told him how I felt because I wanted to honor the path, he believed God was calling him to follow. Whenever he needed support or help, I tried to offer it generously. Yet each moment spent with him also deepened my affection, and I realised that remaining so close to him was becoming increasingly difficult. After much prayer and discernment, I asked the Lord to help me let go of my hopes if they were not His will. Believing it was the right thing to do, I left my parish and moved to another community and area, despite the sadness of leaving behind the parish family I loved, especially the children with whom I served in Children's Liturgy. Leaving came as a surprise to Matthew, as he did not know why I was departing so suddenly. We said goodbye with kindness, and his encouraging words, spoken in the presence of our parish priest and others, have remained with me ever since. I had hoped that leaving would help my heart move on, allowing us both to continue peacefully on the paths God had prepared for us. Yet, despite my efforts, my heart still desires to be his wife. At the same time, I sincerely desire God's holy will above my own. I do not know where the Lord is leading Matthew, whether to the priesthood or elsewhere and I know that only God sees the whole picture. Unlike Matthew, I am a convert to the Catholic faith and do not have many people praying for me. For this reason, I humbly ask whether you might remember us in your prayers. Please pray that Matthew may faithfully follow God's call with complete freedom and generosity. Please pray that I may have the grace to trust the Lord completely, to grow in holiness, and to accept His will with peace and joy. And if, in His providence, it is God's plan that our lives should one day be united in the sacrament of Holy Matrimony, I pray that He would make that path clear in His perfect time. Above all, I ask that His will, not mine be accomplished. Thank you, dear Sisters, for your hidden life of prayer and for the countless intentions you carry before the Lord each day. It is a great comfort to know that others are praying, and I am deeply grateful for any prayers you may offer for us. May God bless you abundantly, and may Our Lady keep you always under her mantle. Yours in Christ, Mikaela (If you wish to write back to me, please do not hesitate) 3 August 2026  
Ashley Hope that Athos Salomé’s ‘warning’ of melting ice in the Arctic causing war between Russia and NATO is false; hope will be enough ice up there very soon; despite that hope it doesn’t snow in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada until early December. Hope to talk to a priest soon. Hope my parents and I don’t get sick. My mum Glenda is getting stricter and more controlling. I am likely going out of town with her hopefully mid-August, hope my dad Alan comes with us. Hope to get money I am owed soon. 1 August 2026
