Alleluias to all of this good news!

I'm so touched by imagining the folks who might inhabit these two once-OEF homes. I feel blessed to have known both buildings in question and so can imagine them as they transition to their new occupants, nurturing new people within their walls. May those who come to dwell in them find themselves often in inexplicable love, in experiences of surprise joy, as new life continues to grow, touch and transform within the world!

I chime in with "traveling mercies" for Lorraine and with similar good news and great gratitude: we are in the process of closing the sale of our house in Texas, which has been on the market for two years. I thank God who guided a new family to love my former home and thereby made my life be a little simpler, a little easier and provided the wherewithal for me to attend Chapter in June.

O Giver of all good gifts, we bless for the grace you pour out on your little servant, our Sister Lorraine. May her joy and gratitude shine forth for the blessing of all she meets.

Father of lights, we ask you for you illumitation as Sister Lorraine sets out of her pilgrimage to Italy. Light her way to do your will, and make her a blessing of light as she goes. Let this little lantern shine with the exquisite light of your Divinity, to your praise and glory. In Jesus name. Amen.

-- Brother Carlo --

Blessed are you, O God, for the grace you have shown our Sister Sophie and her family. Make her a blessing where she lives now, a grant her a safe journey to our upcoming Chapter, where we hope to rejoice together in your love, in your presence. In the name Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Please join me in my prayer of thanksgiving...

I am so blessed so thankful for all the many, many blessings in my life. Especially tonight for going to contract on my house in Babylon, and for my friends, and for my up coming trip and retreat in Italy. I am blown away by the HUGE amount of blessings that have been bestowed upon me in the recent weeks. Thank you Lord, thank you. thank you. You are Good, All Good, Supremely Good. I am humbled by your generosity to this unworthy servant. Thank you. Amen

Amen, amen, amen.

So let it be. Amen.

Amen, thank you Brother for your beautiful prayer.
