I received this from a facilitator. The ideas and emotions that this student expresses are a wonderful statement of what I hear people tell me all the time when I am out on the road:

Thank you for all of the beautiful insights. I read and re-read the discussion boards...I want to let you know that the postings, to me, are a form of God's blessings and grace. To be able to communicate online, exchange, share and spread the goodness of God is a huge blessing. The grace to be able to receive them with an open heart, mind and soul is truly humbling. Prayer helps a lot.  It shows how much the Holy Spirit wants us to be active in our lives, thank you to our facilitator, most especially... she is like a shepherd of the flock. No we're not lost sheep or else we won't be here, and that's what I want to share. I realized that just within this class, we have so much to thank for. We've gained so much from everybody, and from [the facilitator]. The class recharged us to, as we learned, continue God's work of love and salvation, through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Ours is just one class, there are more VLC classes out there, so them, too, are blessed and receive the grace. No it's not the same grace for everyone, only the perfect love of one another, our neighbor, that God dearly wants us to have, "so that all may be one." This is our faith, this is what we do! So let's pray that the blessings continue and more graces pour on us so that we may be able to receive Jesus, and bring people to Jesus and Jesus to the people."

What else can I say but Amen

Greetings All! Just wanted to pop in and leave a message about a couple up and coming things we have been working on.

The Adult Formation Leadership certificate program in nearly ready for prime time. We are on track to start the first offering in January 2010.

By popular request, the team that is working on the Prayer and Liturgy track is going to put together a set of course aimed at helping RCIA teams.

A team has been formed here at UD to push forward with enhanced virtual conferencing. It is highly likely that this project will have impact on how closed groups for parishes function.

I would like to encourage all you VLCFF podcast fans to submit your ideas here about what you would like to see in the future of the VLCFF. Many of our best ideas for improvement and innovation have come from our students. Each of you are a very important part of this initiative for the Church.

Together we make Good News happen.
