Guest Speaker: Candace Schulze

I have waited, waited for the LORD, and he stooped toward me and heard my cry, He drew me out of the pit of destruction, out of the

mud of the swamp. He set my feet upon a crag; and he made firm my steps. And put a new song in my mouth, a hymn to our God.

Psalm 40:2-4

Candace Schulze is a wife, mother, and retired teacher. During her college years, pride led her to choose the world instead of the Church, although she never totally walked away from God. It took several years, but she finally gave God permission to begin to repair the damage from that time. He first healed her relationship with Himself, then her link with the Church. Along the way God used some unexpected circumstances that involved an agnostic 7-year-old, the letter “Y”, and an image of Jesus on the Cross. Through the Magnificat Ministry the Holy Spirit stepped into Candace’s life and opened her up to a hunger to know God better and to love Him more deeply. Since then, her spiritual life has grown by following the many different ways God led her, but especially through Eucharistic Adoration, scripture, and praying with others. Throughout this more than 20-year process she’s met many wonderful people and experienced healing of deep inner wounds by accepting God’s healing care

History of Jesus Bread of Life  Chapter of Magnificat

(For the Diocese of Little Rock in Arkansas)

In 2011, while attending daily Mass the Lord spoke to my heart that it was time to bring a Magnificat Chapter to Central Arkansas.This inspiration came from a seed that was planted after attending our Mother Chapter, Mary Ark of the Covenant’s first meal many years earlier. As I prayed, the Lord gave me the names of the women whom he was calling to help start a new chapter. After calling the Central office and inquiring about the process, our group of women met and prayed and worked as we were guided by the Holy Spirit and the Central Service team. Through prayer, prayer and more prayer and discernment our chapter was named “Jesus Bread of Life”. We were dedicated, hardworking and a bit frightened at times as to how all of our prayers would play out but after about a year and a half, we held our first meal and had around 250 wonderful women attend. The original five service team members were: Founder Debbie Eckert Coordinator, Diane Bausom Co-Coordinator, Doris Williams Treasurer, Lib Harrison Historian, and Sarah Thornton, Secretary

Serving on the service team has stretched us and caused growth in many new and wonderful ways. The bonds the we share as sisters are beautiful, strong and uplifting. The joy we experience as we meet new women and help them experience the love of God is beyond human words but awesome, exciting, wonderful, and grateful would be a good start to state how we feel. The love and sisterhood doesn’t stop there! We have made friends from all over the world through this wonderful ministry we call Magnificat. We encourage you to be a part of all that Magnificat has to offer.
