Magnolia or tulip tree blooming early betweenmonastery and infirmary.
More flowers blooming on south side of monasteryThis past week and weekend we had temperatures even up to 80 degrees. Last night, however, it got down to the lower 30's after 1.65 inches of rain yesterday morning. We needed the rain as it has been a dry winter.
They are today working again on the windmill located on our property just to the east of the monastery. For the last 3-4 months it has been turned off because they found the blades were deficient. So all three blades are being replaced. I think the factory that made them is responsible for this as there seems to have been some problem when they were made.
This past Monday was pastors' day here at the seminary. The pastors of all the students are invited for the day to get acquainted with the seminary, see their seminarians etc.
This coming weekend will be the spring "Encounter With God's Call" weekend. The rooms are all reserved for them so it sounds like it will be well attended. It gives these young men the opportunity to visit and experience the seminary first hand.
This week I again have the community Mass at Clyde for the Sisters each day at 7:30 A.M.
I have been working on my invitations for my 50th anniversary of ordination. I was ordained on May 30, 1959 but will have a Mass of Thanksgiving in my home parish at Brunswick, MO on June 7.
Hope these last weeks of Lent will bring many blessings to you.
