We have been attending the Triduum at the Carmelite Monastery in the city for St. Therese's Feast Day. It has been such a blessing, to pray in the same church as the Sisters of Carmel. When you enter you are filled with an overwhelming sense of peace. You know it is here that God meets these lovely, holy ladies. During communion you get a chance to see them as they come to the grate to recieve. Everyone pauses for a moment as if to stop and thank God for the gift of these cloistered nuns. My little guy was asked to serve and he was thrilled. To see him participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with several priest and the nuns behind the grate is such a beautiful blessing. Thank you my Lord for the small blessings in life.
