...from a Sister of St Cecilia's Abbey on the Isle of Wight. They keep busy there...and have six new novices and are thriving. Their newsletter is full of good things - but also solemn ones, including letters from sisters in the Middle East, , forced out of Iraq along with so many other refugees, pursued by bombing and slaughtering...
There is also a fascinating and profound meditation on silence...referencing St John of the Cross..."God utters only one Word. He utters Himself in that Word totally, interiorly, in an eternal silence..." "Everyone has a sacred stillness at the core of their being, the place where they are present in secret to God and God is present to them..." As a terrible chetterer, Auntie is gently soaking herself in this meditation....
