Rosie's Entrance... - Catholic Finer Femininity

First off, I want to thank you for all the prayers and consoling words when I posted about Rosie, etc. I can’t tell you what it meant to me.

The following pictures are of our big day, dropping Rosie off at the convent. I think it is supposed to be a low-key type of thing, but NOTHING is low-key when you have ten siblings and twenty-eight nieces and nephews! …hehe

It was a beautiful day, though difficult. Yes, bittersweet…maybe tipping the balance on the “bitter” side right now…knowing the sweetness is underlying it all, and will grow more as each day passes.

(Update on my health: My first test was fine. The results were very good. I have another one on Nov. 4th and ask for continued prayers…. Thank you!)

Rosie will be very grateful for prayers, also. Many of you know she has struggled with her own health for a few years. We are praying that all goes well…

The trip…

Arriving in Gower, MO. They are still working on the brand-new Church.

The crane is waaaaay up there!

Mass…

Father Carney says the Tridientine daily Mass for the Benedictines.

Taken from my side..Mother Abbess and the other nuns are on the other side.

After Mass we gather for lunch and a bit of visiting…

These two young, lovely novices left their families and came from Germany and Holland.

Sister Scholastica, the Novice Mistress, talks to the children.

Colin and Ethan.

Mike and Magdalene look at the new calves.

Something in my eye!

Talking with Mother Abbess.
