In the small chapel we gathered for mass Friday night and Saturday morning. The community sat in the front rows and then the families were closely in the back of the chapel. There was in and out with babies crying and needing to be fed or changed. The older kids were better, and there was a lot of manuevering to allow people to come forward for communion. The Community has a way of saying/singing mass with much song and pauses to savor the times of Word and Eucharist!
Mary and the friend that she made were very cute on their special little kneelers in front of a stool. It was special to watch Mary as she greeted the Gospel with her hands raised as Hallel and some of the sisters do! I find myself raising my hands to welcome the Gospel when Christ is presented to us at mass in His Word! The look of JOY that I have witnessed on Hallel's face when the Word is processed in to be read at mass! So amazing!
Praise HIM!!! Our worship rises like incense to YOU, O Lord! 
Close family time like no other!!! Sharing Jesus in his Word and Body and Blood! Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
Happy to see our Family of Faith - the Community of the Lamb! "You are our family too!" Little Sister Benedict
