Thank you ladies for celebrating another wonderful meeting with us. This month we talked about St Teresa of Avila. I encourage you all to dive deeper into mental prayers, her books, and her life. She started a good catholic girl, turned into a rebellious nun, and changed our knowledge of prayer forever. She is my new #WCW. The slides have resources to learn more about what we talked about today as well as links to e-books and audiobooks (free).
You were amazing for showing up and creating such an amazing gathering. Thank you for putting up with the technical difficulties and for being open to a new way of meeting. We have uploaded the slides from the meeting, plus some wonderful resources from the group.
