Carole Frey experienced the light of Christ as a child.

Therefore, when Carole has gone through darker seasons in her adult life, she has known where to turn: Jesus.

When overwhelmed with anxiety, Carole sensed God drawing her to church. She spoke with her parish priest. In his pastoral care and wise counsel, he encouraged Carole to share her God-given gifts with their community.

Carole started playing piano and leading her church choir. Despite unexpected twists and turns in her journey, she has continued to serve both adults and children through her music ministry.

Moreover, Carole notices when someone feels isolated, just like she once did.

"I experience a surge of empathy to ensure they become part of the communal fold."

Listen to this Advent “mini retreat in a podcast,” deepen your awareness of Jesus drawing you to Himself, and discern how to share your God-given gifts in new and glorious ways!

A Posture of Gratitude with Rebecca Grabill

Rebecca Grabill’s conversion started in the most unexpected way: a panic attack.

Since Rebecca also struggled with anxiety and agoraphobia, her husband suggested the Sacrament of Healing. Rebecca was unsure and decided to reach out to her parish.

Overcome with emotion, Rebecca wept as she recounted her story to her parish priest. Although he had never administered the Anointing of the Sick for severe anxiety in his 40 years of priesthood, he believed it was best.

Rebecca received a supernatural gift she never could have imagined.

“I was able for the first time to be able to truly love God…to experience a passionate love for God that was and is like a consuming fire.”

Rebecca's heart is filled with gratitude for the blessing of healing.

Gratitude: A Path to God with Megan Lynch

Megan Lynch couldn’t believe it when she felt a lump in her breast. With four young children and no risk factors, Megan was sure it wasn’t cancer.

Lord, if this is the last year of my life please keep me open to you. Please keep the door of my heart open so your love shines through me.
