Can't get much more Catholic than that. Oh, the music is indeed beautiful.

The Thomas Merton quote hits home with me; my husband and I long for that kind of life. Our favourite place to live was when we lived in a little one room cabin in the woods west of Rocky Mountain House for 10 beautiful months, and I really didn't miss civilization that much. Didn't like the 30 mile drive to Mass though. I guess one of the blessings of being a monk is that Mass is right in your own buildings!Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527242886340702312.post-22046905372794749552009-01-04T22:29:00.000-08:002009-01-04T22:29:00.000-08:00I'm excited to hear about your decision, Tom.I'm excited to hear about your decision, Tom.Katie Alenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210222751354931694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527242886340702312.post-79772440087853920992009-01-04T14:01:00.000-08:002009-01-04T14:01:00.000-08:00Tom: Lent will have a special resonence for you th...Tom: Lent will have a special resonence for you this year because of Critter's absence. You are feeling some of the pain of the Cross.<BR/><BR/>I know. The Lent after my pet died was tough but it was also very much a grace filled Lent as it led to my eventual reversion.Cathy_of_Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795566831031491371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527242886340702312.post-65104790154945050432009-01-04T09:37:00.000-08:002009-01-04T09:37:00.000-08:00i was just saying to garth that I cannot wait for ...i was just saying to garth that I cannot wait for this season, how very different and special it will be this year, my last one without baby E, and how i cannot wait to enter into it- it's always, without fail, my most favorite time of year. and how very much i wish i could spend it entirely at Mepkin with those Trappist brothers I miss and love so much :O)<BR/><BR/>and i agree with Adrienne, "lesser note" my butt!! i am so happy you will be bringing another furry pet into your family and can't wait to hear more...kitchuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907460384010952009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527242886340702312.post-8571880836403453962009-01-03T22:59:00.000-08:002009-01-03T22:59:00.000-08:00"lesser note?"
