e5 Woman Accepting God's Will

As an e5 woman, I have experienced graces won for me from complete strangers, men who are fasting for women they love and others like me! I do not have a big story to tell. The first Tuesday of one month, I was hurt by a man I cared for very much. As I cried in front of the Blessed Sacrament the next day, I realized what day it was, and that there were 7000 men fasting that day! I know I received grace from your sacrifices. You helped me to accept God's will with an open heart and even love it as the best thing for me. I found joy in suffering. You reminded me of what kind of man I want to marry one day, and that men like that do exist. May God strengthen you and your loved ones in this tangible witness of self-denial and self-giving love. Never be discouraged or tempted if you cannot see the effects of your prayers and fasts; they may be hidden from you, but they are visible to many others. Thank you!
