Thank you so much for all the wonderful work you do on every aspect of each Sentinel—I love them so much. I take them on my train commute to work, and it is my mental "workout" for the day ahead as the articles are so uplifting.

In this particular issue ["Women in today's world," February 2], I found Tony Lobl's article, "You have a prayer!" so reassuring at this time of economic instability. His retelling of the way Jesus stilled the storm with the authority of the Christ being "the visible—or audible—tip of a profound conviction of God's goodness," brought that concept alive for me, and I received an overwhelming sense of peace.

Also, having just lost a friend, I was uplifted by the thoughts of the editors in "Prayer for 'the cure' " in the same issue. This editorial contains many truths about woman's and man's spiritual heritage and proclaims that "the highest form of cancer awareness is the awareness that its threatening claims are false and groundless" and that we can be freed from the fear of the disease and the disease itself.
