Wolverhampton Carmelite Monastery Today

[Nunsense]

Dear all. I am leaving in two hours, so am deleting all files now and just thought I would post a goodbye. I went to Mass this morning at a lovely old English church - very old and very ornate. I loved the Mass too - lots of ceremony. The best thing however, was that there was a side chapel to St Teresa of Avila! so I spent some time in prayer there, lit some candles for various people (yes, they still use good old fashioned wax candles!) and attended Mass. Afterwards I walked back to the hotel and on the way I said "goodbye" to the world . I realized that there just isn't anything out here for me any more, and that I am really looking forward to enclosure and obedience!

I had one last Diet Coke - and am now ready to have a shower (probably one of the last as well since they have a bath at the convent!) and get dressed. This has been the most amazing journey of my life, and it is only just beginning. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers as well. Phatmass is a wonderful place!

Gabriel - I loved Singapore and wish you well with the priesthood. Don't lose that vocation! Stay safe and when you are a priest, say a Mass for me! It will be my job now to pray for you and your vocation, so you can be sure I will.

Bye.
