Socks and departures!

 

The crafty nun shop has been restocked today with some outstanding quilling cards with original designs by one of the sisters.  Also one of our postulants has produced some wonderful and unique socks, produced in her free time. The yarn is special sock yarn that will last for years.

Each year, our Carmelite Association organises a meeting for those in initial formation, who gather in one of the Carmels. This year it is being held in Glasgow and so we  said goodbye this morning to the three members of our Novitiate as they set off for four days. Please keep them in your prayer that the meeting may be fruitful and supportive for all who participate. We shall miss them.

Quote of the week: "Let us suppose that God is like an immense and beautiful dwelling or palace and that this palace, as I say, is God Himself. Could the sinner, perhaps, so as to engage in his evil deeds leave this palace? No, certainly not; rather, within the palace itself, that is within God Himself, the evil deeds committed by us sinners take place. Oh, frightful thought, worthy of deep reflection, and very beneficial for those of us who know so little. Let us consider brothers and sisters the great mercy and compassion of God, and be extremely thankful to Him. The greatest evil of the world, is that God,our creator, suffers so many evil things from His creatures within His very self" INTERIOR CASTLE point 3
