We received a very special gift - two faithful, loving women intent of seeking God in our midst. Joanna Burley, a Florida native and Shirley Arce, of California, knocked on our chapel door at Evening Prayer last evening. Both women have been participating in our Live- In Program for the past year and a half. This day marks the official beginning of their monastic journey. Shirley and Joanna knocked together and were greeted at the door by our prioress, Sister Cecilia. Their family and friends followed them over our threshold - a sign that they, too, are becoming part of our extended community. On the last day of Christmas, God gave us joy. Rejoice with us and keep our newest postulants in your prayers.
Blessings and love to you all...
- Sister Vicki
