Today we began the Novena to Our Holy Founder, St Francis de Sales,
in preparation for his feast on January 24th. We meet & recite the
Litany to him each morning. The Reliquary, reflects the altar of St
Francis de Sales in our monastery church in Rue Royale, Annecy,
where our sisters reunited after the French Revolution. They moved
to their present location at the beginning of the 20th century. For
the litany of St Francis de Sales click on one of the
pictures.

As we begin this New Year & enter into the 'ordinary' time of the
church's calendar, we realise that today nothing is ordinary! We are
living in quite extraordinary times. As we carry the Lord in our
hearts we can still hear His invitation . . . click on picture |

Our Lady Mother of God
'I said to the man who stood
at the gate of the year:
'Give me a light that I may
tread safely into the unknown.'
And he replied:
'Go out into the darkness & put your hand into the hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light,
& safer than a known way.' |

Keep us good Lord
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time
of uncertainty & distress.
Sustain & support
the
anxious & fearful,
lift up all who are brought low,
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can
separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus Our Lord.

A sharing of our Christmas days for you. The first pictures are of a
beautiful Advent Calendar gifted by our dear Inge, we pressed out &
put the relevant cut-outs in place each day. Also Christmas day was
the 94th birthday of our dear Sr Paul Miryam so we enjoyed a double
celebration.
