Sincerest Thanks and Moving Forward

Dear faithful readers and friends of Anastpaul,

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Ann Stenvert. She died yesterday, fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church and wearing the Brown Scapular of Our Lady. And we know that the Blessed Virgin Mary is faithful to her promises!

Please also pray for Ann’s grieving family and friends who are coping with her sudden loss. But the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ transforms suffering and sorrow into many profound opportunities for Grace and salvation, if only we allow God to do so on His Holy Terms.

Eternal Rest grant unto her, O Lord. And let Perpetual Light shine upon her. May her soul and all of the souls of the faithfully departed, through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace. Amen.

I was greatly blessed to be Ann’s pastor this past year. She bore the Light of Christ to countless souls that she touched through her prayers and steadfastness in the Truth of Christ and His One True Catholic Church, without any compromise with the popular errors against the Faith taught by so many wolves in shepherds’ clothing who are deceiving and leading so many souls into doctrinal and moral corruption. Lord have Mercy! But let us continue making sacrifices and praying for the conversion of heretics and sinners so that the Truth will set them free. The love of God and seeking the salvation of souls is what drove Ann on in the battle as a soldier for Christ. And so, let us always continue heeding the pleadings of Our Lady and her little devoted daughter and servant Ann, by praying the Rosary every single day.

Funeral arrangements for Ann are still pending. And if anyone would like to donate to help cover the costs for the Funeral and other bills that have taken the financially struggling Stenvert family by surprise, I encourage you to donate by contacting the Stenverts directly via a new PayPal account:

Every donation large or small will be most appreciated, including every big or little prayer.

And I have personally pledged to offer Masses for the repose of Ann’s soul. And I also pledge to remember all donors to the Stenverts in my private intentions at Mass. And I will offer a monthly Mass for all who donate monthly to the Stenverts, who promise to continue Ann’s holy work on the website.

+May God bless and reward you all.
In JMJ,

Brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.

-2 Thess. 2:14

Teach nothing new, but implant in the hearts of everyone those things which the Fathers of venerable memory taught with a uniform preaching. Whence, we preach nothing except what we have received from our forefathers. In all things, therefore, both in the rule of Faith and in the observance of discipline, let the pattern of antiquity be observed.

-Pope St Leo the Great
