The wanderers return

Our Novitiate arrived home after a week long stay in Glasgow Carmel where they received a wonderful welcome.
It was great to have a full house once again. They said the meeting was very helpful on many levels and the speakers – all of them carmelite Sisters – were excellent. They left us last week in rain clouds but arrived back in brilliant sunshine. In their absence one of the sisters managed to complete her wind in the willows character, Mole. You can find him in the crafty nun shop, he is unique even if I say so myself!

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
