There is more to be read into this defeat, something is wrong.Aston Villa46' Villa an attacking team with variety and pace. Gregor likes their style, likes Watkins but also felt Brighton gifted Villa two goals. Watkins has strength, explosive pace and can finish…how far can he go?50' Brighton fell foul of tinkering and rotation. Alyson thinks they are either very good, or horrid. They'll come good and play good football, but there will be ups and downs as they negotiate losing players and playing in Europe.52' Brighton need to maintain the feeling of strength, it can easily slip away. Is DeZerbi too reckless?WSL53' Surprise of the weekend as Liverpool won at the Emirates against Arsenal, all in front of 50, 000 fans.

This is a true story that begins in 1931 and is still developing as we live and breathe. You will learn about a woman who served God and died too early. Her service and devotion to God and St. Joseph was almost eclipsed by her friend Father John J. Crowley, also known as the Padre of the Desert, a larger-than-life servant of the Catholic Church. Their stories are forever intertwined and with the help of special guest, Molly Hudson, we will share what happened to us after I mentioned Sister Irenita in Curious Cat Episode 14: Cemeteries. Woo. It's a doozy.If you'd like to research their lives and fill in the gaps for yourself about what may have kept Sister Irenita discontent, haunting the St. Johns Cathedral and property for 91 years, please have a read. This episode was recorded and is shared with the sole hope of wishing eternal peace and love to Sister Irenita Zimmerman and Father John J. Crowley. May they rest in peace.Additional Reading Materials:https://kingsriverlife.com/12/18/holy-ghost-the-haunting-of-st-johns-cathedral/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/23634573/mary-irenita-zimmermanhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6881274/john-j-crowleyhttps://www.catholic.org/featured/headline.php?ID=1576Link to California's God Episode 110 – Wedding of the Waters https://blogs.chapman.edu/huell-howser-archives/1999/08/12/71Additional Links:https://www.stjohnsfresno.orghttps://califolk.blogspot.com/2007/11/incorruptible-sister-irenita.htmlhttps://www.ghostlyworld.org/tag/sister-irenita/https://kingsriverlife.com/12/18/holy-ghost-the-haunting-of-st-johns-cathedral/“Listening In.” Denver Catholic Register, Thursday, Aug. 13, 1931, p. 4. https://archives.archden.org/islandora/object/archden%3A6664/datastream/OBJ/view.
