Our Father…
3 Hail Mary…
Glory be…
Grant healing to our dear Friar David, dear Lord, and guide the hands of those who are caring for him. May Our Mother Mary keep him unto the mantel of her special protection. Amen.



I called Fra… David at the priory and left a message. Tonight, I found an email from him. I’m so excited. He doesn’t say much, but at least I know that he is still with us. I was getting scared, because I couldn’t track him down, but he left me a number where I can reach him.
It’s past the Grand Silence or I would call him tonight. I’ll have to wait until Monday to do so. I just have to work around our schedule and theirs. They have contemplative prayer during the day and we have it in the evening. I guess that’s why we’ve always done everything with the Dominicans and little with the Carmelites. We can’t get on the same schedule. LOL
I’m just so happy to hear from him that I wanted to let everyone know. I’m going to put it before the House Chapter to see if I can get permission to visit him at the end of March. I’m going to VA to my daughter’s wedding, on Mercy Sunday. But I’m going up a week ahead of time. I’ll be in VA for Easter. Maybe the chapter will give me permission to visit the Carmelite priory. It’s only an hour north of where I’ll be. I can get there by bus and train or hitch a ride from a relative. I wouldn’t stay, of course, so as not to inconvenience the Carmelite Friars or even eat. I just want to see Dave.
I’m so happy to hear from my bud. :dancing:
That’s it for now folks.
