To Live of Love

To live of love is to sail afar and bring both peace and joy where'er I be. O Pilot blest! Love is my guiding star; in every soul I meet, Thyself I see. Safe sail I on, through wind or rain or ice; love urges me, love conquers every gale. High on my mast behold is my device: 'By love I sail!' - st. therese

the associate : the lawyer

i have someone for you to pray for.

Monika called a lawyer two weeks ago 
because we need to gain official status through the city to become an association in Vienna and then be able to get money for the association from the city, get special discounts, special exemptions, tax deductions, etc. 
Monika wrote up all of the legal statues for the association (really a huge, long task), but she needed someone to make sure everything was correct legally. 

The funny thing is, she knows this lawyer from her little town in Steiermark because she sees him in Adoration in the church there. 

Anyways, the lawyer did all the work, and approved everything (even congratulated Monika on the fabulous work she did) and then when Monika asked how much it would cost, he said, "Is 200 euro too much?" Of course that is not too much considering all the work he did, all the people he had to call, all the extra research he had to do, etc. So Monika went ahead and explained what Points-Coeur is, how it runs completely off the donations of people sponsoring the volunteers, how we don't really have any reserve of money going into starting this new house in Vienna, and therefore she must ask Fr. Jacques about the 200euro. 

And in response, the lawyer simply says..
All I need are your prayers for me and my family. 
The work is free.
