Away in a Monastery...

It was my FIRST Christmas away from home in my 48 years of celebrating this great feast of our faith! And I can't say that it was easy. I missed my family, especially my mom (who is not doing so well physically - please keep her in your prayers). But it was a growing experience also. (God is so good to me!) And thank God for video chat!!!

In a homily during the Christmas Season, one of the priests here quoted a sister whom he knows who said, "Home is where God is".

That help to put things in the proper perspective.
