"There's nothing in the world that compares to this." | Valerie Powell

I AM HERE

A life of pain and hardship could not keep Valerie away from the presence of Jesus. Although she was given the gift of catechesis as a young child, her family didn’t foster devotion to Jesus, and, after being abused as a young girl, Valerie turned to drugs and a life of the occult to maintain some sense of control over her life. She returned to the Church once, but left again, after experiencing great challenges and losses with her loved ones. Yet, in the midst of COVID, she returned again and fully encountered the love that is now the source of her strength every day, in the Blessed Sacrament.
