SURPRISE
Yesterday during prayer a woman showed up at our door, from Asia, interested in a vocation. You never know who God will send. We will help her settle first!

FREE DAYS
Tomorrow is a monastic free day; it means we pray in private and have permission to talk.

VARIOUS
Lots of little news. The Russian Orthodox community was so grateful for our offer of the chapel even though they went to a larger one, that they sent us 2 bottles of Monastery red altar wine.I also heard from my orthodox monk friend who received the angelic schema; he has a new name as is their custom. Today is Ascension Thursday.

MARY"S MONTH
The month of our Blessed Mother is spent with greater awareness of her unique role in our salvation, with prayer and reading.
