Thank you for posting the videos - they are inspiring and heartbreaking. I may not be one of these, seeking recognition, or have a Latina background ... but i am an immigrant from a different time and a different place, i hold papers that say i am not born here. I wonder what would happen if ALL the people who hold these papers were asked to leave.......The United States and its people, must recognize what makes this country ... i will continue to hold this in my intention. Peace to you and to SaSi!!! LOVE the picture of Martin and Rosalima ….. as Maria said, how did you ever get them to stay put!!!!

It is a lovely Christmas message from SaSi. Also, thank you for sending Gaby Pacheco's faith message. I could not think of a better Christmas wish. Hope you both are having a wonderful, sacred and quiet Christmas. We had a noisy and lovely Christmas Eve. Nothing was more beautiful than two year old Eleanor walking around fascinated holding a small globe we gave her. The little snow on a Christmas house was such magic for her. That is what I shall remember. Love. Love. How on earth did you get your babies to sit and have a photo taken? It is a lovely Christmas message from SaSi.

Tomorrow they will march from UTSA to downtown. They will travel on Fredericksburg Road. I plan to be at the corner of W. Russell and Fredericksburg Road to meet them and walk a bit with them. I am trying to get others to meet them. They are indeed courageous young people. I visited with the students this afternoon. Tomorrow they will march from UTSA to downtown.

The years have gone by, forty-three to be nearly exact, since Mary Wolfe (Sr. Richard Ellen, O.P.) and I departed Adrian. Those long years have been happy years, as were the more than twenty years we were active Dominican sisters. For some time, I have known that you had taken up God's work in Texas and in the nature apostolate. I have just viewed the splendid exposition of your work and want to tell you that I will share it with Mary when she returns this afternoon. I know that she will be happy, too, to learn you are well, happy and productive ! Love, prayers, Peace Mary Jane Doing a bit of browsing this autumn day in Ft.
