Greetings my brothers and sisters in Christ,

On August 22, 2008, the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, the Catholic Doors Ministry will celebrate its 10 th year in existence. It is hard to believe that a decade has already passed since this successful online ministry had its beginning.

When this ministry was started a decade ago, there were no plans as to how long it would continue, a year, a couple years or even 5 years. 10 years was way beyond my imagination and plans. Yet, here it is today, 10 years later.

Over the years, the Catholic Doors Ministry has received hundreds of letters of thanksgiving for its work. Without the grace of God and the united prayers of the "Praying Partners," this ministry could not have brought forth such great fruits. Incoming emails have expressed thanks for conversions, for a return to the faith after many years (as many as 45 years), for the physical and spiritual healings received, for the ministry's guidance in promoting the Catholic way that many liberals have corrupted, for its endless number of prayers and devotions found on the website that amaze all those who come upon them, for its authoring of Catholic material in plain English (no churchy words), and the list continues. One shall never know the abundance of the fruits that flourished from this ministry until such time as one reaches Heaven. The hundreds and hundreds of entries in the Guest Book, many by Catholic priests, is surely a small reflection of the good that has been done.

This month, I ask for your prayers, that the Lord Jesus may continue to bless and guide the Catholic Doors Ministry in the months and years to come. May the Blessed Virgin Mary continue to keep this ministry under her protection to ensure that this work of love always keeps its focus on the way, the truth and the light of Jesus.

May the Lord Jesus watch over all of you during the remaining of the Summer month and enrich your spiritual lives beyond your greatest expectations.

In the love of Jesus and Mary,

Jonn,
webmaster.
