about. I showed her my arm and she held it & said a little
      
      
        prayer and told me Papa wants this healed. I laid on her little
      
      
        doctors bed, told me to relax and just pray. She rubbed the
      
      
        blessed oil on my arm, from shoulder to finger tips. This did
      
      
        not last long at all. The pain started leaving and by the time
      
      
        she got to my fingers the shaking was GONE!!!!!  She said
      
      
        you’re healed. I was in a state of shock and kept asking her
      
      
        why me? There are more people with so much more than just
      
      
        nerve damage. She said Papa heals even the little things that
      
      
        are really for big miracles.
      
      
        I know this healing wasn’t just for me alone.  Some of us
      
      
        need to see to believe unfortunately. She literally had to hold
      
      
        me to walk out & meet my friend who was in the adoration
      
      
        chapel praying for us the whole time.  Sister Dulce told her,
      
      
        “
      
      
        your friend is healed.”  We were both crying for joy!  We
      
      
        went around to everyone we knew showing off my miracle.
      
      
        What an instrument God has given us. Thank you
      
      
        Jesus!  And for those of little faith & keep asking...”Has your
      
      
        shaking returned?” 
      
      
        NO, IT’S A GOD THING!!!  BELIEVE!!

            Sunday, December 8, 2013 at 3:00 p.m.
          
        
      
      
        How often have we been
      
      
        asked this question, “Is there
      
      
        really a Santa?”  When our young
      
      
        children reach a certain age, and
      
      
        unfortunately today that age can
      
      
        be as early as kindergarten or first
      
      
        grade, they begin hearing from
      
      
        other children that there really
      
      
        isn’t a Santa Clause.
      
      
        Let us help you solve this
      
      
        mystery for your children by
      
      
        joining us on Sunday, December
      
      
        8, 2013
      
      
        at 3:00 p.m. in the Dolphin Room at Cypress Springs
      
      
        Mercedarian Prayer Center for this year’s children’s event, LaPosada.
      
      
        In addition to searching for the Holy Family, this year we will share
      
      
        the story of St. Nicholas - The Boy who became Santa.  It is a lesson
      
      
        in giving!
      
      
        St. Nicholas taught us all the gift of giving and this year, we ask
      
      
        that you help us support a Mercedarian mission in Africa.  These
      
      
        children are in dire need of the bare necessities to live. The Sisters are
      
      
        asking for monetary donations so that they can purchase clothing,
      
      
        school supplies and other items needed to give these children the
      
      
        best chance of making it out of the poverty they now experience.
      
      
        We will gratefully accept any monetary donation you would like
      
      
        to give.  Remember, Sister Dulce’s order is an international order
      
      
        and many of their missions are in desolate areas in Africa, South
      
      
        America and other countries. We want “our children” to share with
      
      
        “
      
      
        their children” gifts and prayers so that all can feel the love of God
      
      
        through the generosity of others.
      
      
        After this lesson, the children will assist a shepherd in search of
      
      
        the Holy Family.  The shepherd will lead our children around the
      
      
        grounds of the Prayer Center and will eventually end their journey
      
      
        at the stable where they will find a living nativity.
      
      
        We hope that you can join us. This is no charge to attend;
      
      
        however, we ask that in order to help us plan, you reserve your spot
      
      
        by calling the Prayer Center at 225/752-8480 to register.

        Through the end of December, 2013, a very generous donor will double the donations received which becomes
      
      
        a
      
      
        
          TRIPLED
        
      
      
        donation to the ministry.
      
      
        To reach our goal of $1,265,000 we need to collect at least $422,000 because once
      
      
        
          TRIPLED
