Hallel meets two of her neices and nephews for the first time yesterday. It had been two and a half years since her sisters and their families had come to Kansas City to say goodbye to Hallel before she left for France. Both Augustine and Rose were born since then. It was a wonderful thing to get that "real hug" I have been praying for. Thank you, Lord, for answering my prayers so beautifully. Not only did I get my real hug, but so did most of the family. It is shere delight to watch her enjoying her little neices and nephews!
The amazing times of prayer and worship in the small chapel in their temporary home while...
The new little monastery is under construction... this is a sister cell and we will never be able to come back here when it is finished. It is very exciting to see this LIGHT of Christ taking shape in the heart of our country. The light in the midst of the darkness
The cupola on the roof of the chapel... Little sister Marie calls it a lantern. I can't wait to see it lit up!!! It is very exciting to see the touch of the community here in the U.S. They have already lit up the entire neighborhood with excitement and pride! Neighbors do not want to move away and leave their pride and joy - little Monastery - Lumen Christi!
It is so wonderful the exposure the kids are having to religious life! Hallel has Mary help her with setting up for mass in the chapel, as the others go around taking in all the icons, flowers and Jesus behind the altar! Priceless times of learning the beauty of the call to a life as a spouse of Christ.
Thank you, Lord, for the real hug that I have been praying for. Thank you for the time for family to gather and share in the LIFE of prayer and poverty of the Community of the Lamb. Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
Priceless life lessons that come with FAMILY and FAITH!
