Frances no longer gives Missions in parishes, as well as Retreats and Seminars to people mainly in the English-speaking world. She continues to give Scripture classes from her home.
Thank you so much, for all you are teaching us. It is really an amazing gift to be able to learn and ponder all this teachings.

Is there a possibility of sending the pdf notes shortly just before the Webinair so that participants can download and print in preparation for the class and to make notes while the session is taking place? That would be so useful for me, I don't know about what the rest think of this idea...???
Yes I would like to have them too, I might follow / have a better understanding if I’ve read through them before hand. Thank you Im finding them so fascinating.

Please I would appreciate reaching notes prior to webinar.
Also can you forward on previous notes from beginning if possible.
God bless all in Divine ways.

I approach this as one who is, in a sense at Mass. I'm in the moment just listening. Also, like Mass - I go back over it, again and again - that's when I take notes. I know both ways work for me yet, I learn when I simply listen that Christ speaks to me sort of by an interior emphasis on specific words or phrases - a particular scripture passage that helps ME (I'm not speaking for anyone but myself) with what the Lord desires that I might remember. Today, I will reflect upon that I was baptized, priest, prophet and King. I'm not an ordained priest but as Francis said, more like Abraham, a prince (I'm a woman so maybe, 'princess' instead. Tho' if you knew everything about me you too might hear God laugh!). A wonderful session, truly the highlight of my day after the opening prayer. May we all be and remain, in Christ+++
That would be beneficial! I am photoshooting some of Frances’ script notes, and they are increasing in number and they obviously cannot provide a comprehensive pathway of the complex historical geneology Frances has so brilliantly unravelled and presented!
Go raibh mhaith agat Frances agus taim an-bhuioch.☐
Dear friends, as a teacher I have never provided notes ahead of time. It is better to allow oneself to experience the impact of the material. Afterwards there is plenty of time to mull over details. I'm glad you are enjoying the experience. I want you to hear that the Lord is using us in the same way as He used the Essenes - to prepare the Way for the new Era that is coming in our day. The impact of what we are doing is greater then we realise.
Thank you for this wonderful study. God bless you and your work preparing us for the New Era.Fiat!

I remember the suffix, el, always referred to God. I was doing research on the name Rachel, but it didn’t say that about her name and the suffix, el. Is this correct about el.
Thank you for this teaching. The name, Melchizedek has always stood out to me. I have wondered about him for years.
