What a day…

…we all had at Hilfield Friary! It was our Francistide Area Chapter - four of us were professed together at the midday Eucharist, and then two were noviced at the afternoon Third Order Office. We had a wonderful time: tears and laughter and love and God's incredible blessings shared between Tertiaries from all across the Blackmore Vale, and with the Brothers - and to put the icing on the cake Bishop Tim was there too. He gave us a talk on our Diocese's link with the Sudan in the morning, managing to be profound and funny, heartbreaking and encouraging all at the same time, and then he filled us in on events at Lambeth after lunch.

Thank you, dear friends of the blogosphere, for your prayers for me today. They were most certainly answered, and with interest…

Thanks and blessings and love to you all!
