the171 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Someone said a gift. What sort of gift? A Carmelite solemnity is the day after my visit. All Carmelite Saints.
faithcecelia Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 [quote name='the171' timestamp='1319599528' post='2327158'] Someone said a gift. What sort of gift? A Carmelite solemnity is the day after my visit. All Carmelite Saints. [/quote] Really nice crusty bread! Or chee.se. We used to find (and its already been mentioned at NH) that we were given soooo many sweets and chocolates etc that we didn't notice them in quite the same way. Flowers can be good too. Depending on how well you knew the community, maybe wine - I took it to Q my forst couple of times, then found out that one of the sisters family keeps them stocked with very good wine, so i never bothered again!
Aya Sophia Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 An assortment of fresh fruit would probably be appreciated (fresh fruit may be in more plentiful supply in US Carmels than UK Carmels but it would be appreciated by the Sisters nonetheless).
Blessed&Grateful Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 this is what I took for a week-long at a Franciscan Monastery: modest skirt/top, modest pajamas/robe, underwear/socks, comb/brush (toothpaste, deodorant shampoo), jeans/sweatshirt (I knew I was going to have garden duty), sandals/joggers. Notebook. Rosary. You need less than you think, and less is more.
