The Epiphany message you gave brought it all together. The symbolism of the action the Wise Men was indeed fueled by their intent of disjunction from an old system of non-working beliefs, and to claim spiritual freedom to create a new ideal. This realization was an Epiphany for me. I am beginning to see the light about what direction I will take in 2005. This will be quite a year! Thanks for your inspiration and passion for truth and Divine guidance. It has been a blessing to meet you, my dear friend.
In peace,

I just wanted to thank you and let you know how beautiful and wonderful the Prayer Circle was on Monday! It was so exciting to be a part of something like that! It really made me feel connected to the whole world and helped me to feel we ALL are really one family! We hear that and talk about it all the time, but being at the Prayer Circle, really helped me Feel it, and Be it!! Thank you so much for everything you put into it to make it so magical!

Dear Fr. Jorge,
The Heartsong Ceremony was lovely. I slept so well that night - woke up a
couple of times feeling blissful and with the angels. I did not feel well
when I left home but I knew I would feel wonderful after being there. I did!
You provide some very beautiful and powerful moments and occasions. I am
delighted to be one with them. Thank you for being who you are and doing
what you do.
Loving blessings,

Dear Brother,

How blessed am I to be able to share Gods love through my music, side by side with you, in the sacredness of the Shrine and the Holy beings of light that will be with us all. I am so looking forward to seeing you, and as I have told you before, you live in my heart and I feel your presence with me always. You are a great blessing to me and all of life!

My love is always with you,

Dearest One,
I wanted to thank you once again and let you know how much I have enjoyed seeing you the last four days, how much I enjoyed the class, and how wonderful both Palm Sunday and last night's services were. You are so very special and such a bright light of God's love!
Mucho agape always,

Thanks so much Fr Jorge! I love reading the sermon over and over……. It is amazing, I think I have listened so carefully and then when I reread it, I see so many other facets. I am truly blessed to have you and our church and our community in my life. It means so much to me!

Lots of love and blessings!

Dear Father Jorge,
What a beautiful service and meditation you offered this morning! It
was so wonderful to be there and to be given the opportunity to partake
in the cermony along with the others. Thank you very much for that. I
found the Sophia reading to be particularly poignant
Love and best wishes,

My Dear Fr. Jorge,
I just read May's newsletter. So many wonderful offerings. I know what I am missing! How marvelous for us all to have you in our world doing what you do for others - guiding them to live purposeful, light-filled lives, claiming their divinity. I love the Mother Mary icon on the May page - because of you I have an understanding and appreciation of religious art and icons that I did not have before. Thank you….. I find tapping into your radiance and light so uplifting and affirming. Thank you!

You have my blessings, intentions, and love.

Dear Fr. Jorge,
Regina Ryan, the leader of a Lenten retreat at the Casa, said that we can access the divine by two ways: pain and beauty. I suspect both are necessary. Previously, I have pretty much used pain. You use beauty, and I am happy to join you!
In peace,

Dear Father Jorge,
I have been thinking how can I thank YOU sufficiently for the experience of the Dia de Muertos Ofrenda ceremony. Your home, the tapestry of ritual and spiritual elements that you weave. I loved the mixture of the Mexican, Indian, and earth influences. It was a very special night.
