<DIV>Dear all:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for the help with my prayer table. Those students in attendance
with pretty excited to see the list as they realized that a lot of what
Spiritual Directors do will be to guide Directees towards a closeness with
their God. I thought I would share with you the list of spiritual aids that
you use to help you stay connect with our Lord.</DIV>
