With the help of St. John of the Cross, she reformed most of the Carmelite convents and founded new ones.

But the, and then a god of darkness.
Randy KielGUEST
But this put it together, saying, "Now set my people the bab- free from Babylon so that they go back to the promised land and establish the house of God, that all the riches you've got, all the kingdoms that you think you have control over, you don't." But what God says, "You were anointed, Cyrus, but I have chosen, I have chosen for the sake of Jacob, my servant Israel, and they are the one." So the word chosen, we'll take it to our second reading, but the word chosen was saved from Moses, Solomon, and Israel.
Randy KielGUEST
And now, here's St. Paul in 1 Thessalonians, writing his first letter back to one of the churches he established about, not too long, it was just a few years after it was established.
Randy KielGUEST
He's writing this letter back because Paul was so discouraged at this point.

Like, I can't remember what they were.

The Secretary of State should have handled this.

Sharon FaldutoNARRATOR
Iowa poll workers, or precinct election officials, answer voters' questions, help them through the process of voting, and keep a watchful eye to ensure voting is done properly and legally.
Sharon FaldutoNARRATOR
We have a secret weapon, Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate said recently, as he often does, that makes our elections some of the best, and it's how I can tell you when I look you in the eye that I have confidence that our elections should run right.
Sharon FaldutoNARRATOR
And that's our poll workers, our friends and neighbors, the people we work with, we go to church with.
Sharon FaldutoNARRATOR
They are the ones who make it happen.
Al SharptonHOST
But the Democratic candidate for secretary of state has a warning.
Al SharptonHOST
Earlier this year, Iowa's Republican Secretary of State Paul Pate, uh, turned over the state's voter-sensitive registration data to the Trump Justice Department, while many other states did not.

Kerry TompkinsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Early voting is definitely busy and it's a great option for Iowa.
Robin DetrickGUEST
Um, w- we also, um, I also work with, um, Ms. Sadie Martin out there, and we registered 51 students out there that were the age of 17 that we could put in our system.
Robin DetrickGUEST
Um, what she was trying to do was to get, um, I believe it was 90% of the senior class to get them all registered so that they could receive a cat award from, uh, the Secretary of State, uh, Paul Pate's office.
Robin DetrickGUEST
Um, they only registered 51, but I told her throughout the year, since she cannot, um, file paperwork until, I think, about March, that if I run a report for all the 17-year-olds, and what they decide to do is just come in later just to register 'cause they were either in another class or had to be there for that class, that I would reach back out to them.
Robin DetrickGUEST
They worked very hard to get all these people, um, to get all these kids to get registered.
Jeff SteinHOST
Because I'm in a state with paper ballots, with audits, with all manner of checking, with voter ID.
Jeff SteinHOST
And in fact, in the last two election cycles, this one and the one before, we have a Republican incumbent by the name of Paul Pate, veteran secretary of state, cares an awful lot about election integrity.
Jeff SteinHOST
Democrats have challenged him each time out, obviously.
Jeff SteinHOST
That's how the thing works.
KathyNARRATOR
On Friday, several state officials said the ruling would not change their approach.
KathyNARRATOR
Ashley Hunt Esquivel, a spokeswoman for Paul Pate, the Iowa Secretary of State, said that Iowa was already using SAVE and would not be affected.
KathyNARRATOR
This ruling does not impact our processes in Iowa because of our participation in a previous lawsuit alongside a few other states, she wrote in an email.
KathyNARRATOR
In Minnesota, Steve Simon, the Secretary of State, said in a statement that the ruling would have no effect on the state's elections, in part because the use of the program is not permitted under state law.
