Words cannot describe how DEAR this precious soul is to me! Seeing her beautiful beaming face in her photo and all the Carmelite art/bride of Christ images she sent me from Canada today melted my heart! We need more brides of Christ’s in this sin stained world; I beg of you to please pray for this young woman. She is my sister in Mary and I believe her vocation is so precious to Christ and needed in the heart of the Church. I cannot tell you how happy I get when young ladies such as Afra leave all for Our Lord and choose the virginal state of celibacy!

I love you my dearest Afra, my “Samwise”.
