Happy Feast of St. Paul! Today is a special feast granted by the Holy See to the Pauline Family. It includes a plenary indulgence ("under the usual conditions") for all members, including (God bless them) our steadfast cooperators. We had Mass at our convent this morning. It is a little tricky, because the liturgy book for Pauline feasts is so small and unfamiliar to the visiting priests who celebrate these days with us. But we managed!
This is also the day around which we try to schedule our professions. In Korea a group is making final vows, and novices in Kenya, Congo, Madagascar and the Philippines (and two other places, both in Africa, but I forget which countries) are making first vows. Please pray for them, that St. Paul obtain some extra special grace for each one.
And for us, too.
Saturday will be my 27th anniversaryof first vows. (We made profession on the Sunday closest to today's feast.) Pray for me!
