Well greetings to everyone. In this time all the press, the show is made upon the charity of God and others, as this is a physical story of the sisters of the Mexican region theory. I'm interested in something of our unfolding story. I've already spoken at the beginning of our speech about how 12 languages sisters became Catholic norms. This day, I'm going to describe something about how our journey has continued, how our physical journey of trying to find the building to begin impacted upon our spiritual journey of making a spiritual home for a new community, and how the corporate journey has affected these sisters' personal story. Finally, I shall seek to draw out from us all our experience of God's challenge in the grace of memory from the challenge of the fellowship of others.

[01:03]

Shortly before we were received as Catholics, I warned the whole community that teachers who wanted to be received as a Catholic had to be prepared to walk down and dry with just what you could carry in a bag in your hands, leaving anything else behind, without any guarantee for the future, but going forward is my faith in accordance with their conscience. So, first of all, sit, step forward, and we will receive into the Catholic Church on the 1st of January 2013. The morning after our reception, we made our communion as Catholics for the first and last time in a conference until then as being our spiritual home. After that, the 12 of us, with our essential personal possessions, audited coats and set-off, we had no money, no home, we left with no trinational settlement from our previous community, no garments, just a firm conviction that the common Catholic was our response to our Lord's continuing call to follow me. We invite the 16th Avenue rise on the Isle of Wight. The island is a little island just off the mainland of England. It's part of England, but you have to go with a ferry or with a public car to get there. So we mentioned the ferry. I'll be right back to the studio.

[02:04]

We were supposed to be there for six weeks. We turned to eight months. Basically, after we left, we were told we can't come back. So we would stop there, and we would be fine in our home. There was time going on because we were being called to remain with those sisters. We loved them and felt they were only not for us. and it's our corporate retirement force that it's always been calling us to continue our journey elsewhere. But where and how would it be possible? Despite the fact that we have no money with which to acquire a typical property, in-state, I and my sister found that state Asian particulars and visitors found safe possibilities. We and others played fervently from our homes. It helps all our payers came in a boring way. An American's military sister from the National Division, down in Tennessee, was all brought to the Clarenda Institute in Birmingham, the first columnist from Henry Newman, She was studying there doing a PXD to do my distance learning, and we come to know her and her community. So she came to visit us on the Isle of Wight for a couple of nights, staying outside the enclosure, because on the Isle of Wight they had paper enclosure, so even for other readers they couldn't come into the enclosure. She came to stay there just out for a couple of nights. As I wasted her off, my last word for her was, as soon as you get to know her well, go to the chapel, get her on your knees, and then let her turn on every new one to find us at home.

[03:12]

She didn't request it. That same night, she emailed me to say that as she left the chapel, she moved into one of her supervisors, and she said, [...] near them that would be spared a reception to actually remain convents in Ireland, they were Irishmen, or they were talking about these countries that were just free-led there, in a convents, and they were leading to the presentry proper roads, and that's when they were ready to sell the convents. So she told me that they were leading to the presentry, and she was about to be with all structure and justice actions that they could not take with them. How soon do we need to do, I asked, and she said, as soon as possible. So, the next morning, I will be in the third cover-class, at the three-eyed wife, I can't define another sister, and we race to Birmingham to do the convents. This particular circle around explained that the community had had a filter for them 15 years before, but they now needed to sell it because their sisters were too old to carry on there, and the elderly kids were grey care homes, so they didn't need it anyway.

[04:24]

They had desperately not wanted to be sold to developers, but could not imagine that any other religious community would come forward to buy it. Because of the climate that cried in the eye of white, if we were able to get back that night, we had just those certain power to view the conference as to set off on our own journey. But in the end of arriving, we knew it was the right thing. It's perfect. We said to a clearly denied it with the superior. Very good, she said. She's aiming. But we have no money to take it, was the next thing I said. See, I said, I've got the convention, so if I'm not going to be here, they will provide what we need. So it's crazy and it's changed. This mighty woman that was faced agreed, and we didn't do it at all. I said to the superior, I was in the senior couple of years, but she said, oh, I'll get rid of all that. We're going to come. I'm going to stop. Leave anything. You don't have anything. Anything you don't need, just leave. I mean everything, you know what to do with it, and I'm happy to have these cousins to elect us after returning our condents, because they didn't see anything, and so we didn't have to worry about things, anything, it was all there. Sister Victoria explained, this was on the Friday, you know, Saturday, so Sister Victoria explained that the policy was to develop the open market in two days' time on the Monday, Thursday, Monday morning.

[05:31]

But I asked her to call you up the state agency and to tell them not to put it on the open market. I said, just give us time to raise the sacrifice. This wonderful faithful sister agreed to do just that. She told me subsequently, the night was closed on the phone that Friday, and I told the other sisters, who were coming with you tomorrow morning, that I said to them, it's only prayer that they should bring us without. But I'm going to seek an all-night prayer to do, who are welcome to join me. But the other sisters were too exhausted, so people were too scared, straight up, most of the night, praying that we would agree to buy their content. Eventually, after most of the night hearts were not asleep, and she got two times to carry on, told them all, Jesus, I don't now, it's up to you, and she went off the bed. And she now describes the whole thing as a miracle of faith. The next day when we arrived, we were uncritical in our desire to purchase me when we didn't have any money. But I told her the Lord would provide it, or the Lord's will, and she agreed. So she cancelled the house for her company, stopped these vacations, and was naked. In a couple of days, she had confirmed that if any factor would want to remain among us, a third of our fight, and he tried to provide a convent, allowing us to live there paying rent, and it was used in local.

[06:33]

That's the first time for a charitable fellowship. We had come to appreciate the meaning of charitable fellowship, to watch rates of nothing, and had experienced it through the right sisters, allowing them to come and live with them for eight months, but now it was time for us to depart. So I'll let our sisters take up the story about the part we provide. I quote, the reality of my departure was actually blue, I've used a pile of luggage that we then appeared at the bottom of the main stairs. When we get to perform, it is perhaps a good thing that had personalized earlier than expected, as the practicalities of loading, the long-term techniques, and rounding up sisters to charge of those 30 final minutes, The coach driver was our old friend who was ported to the Line of Wight, who wanted all those ones below. Did you remember us? He certainly did. And he also had finished letters of getting the coach stuck when attempting to bring us up the Avenue Drive. But for me this time, all was well, as the coach had been brought to the back entrance and loaded there. The two communities held together for the last time to stay so well, aware of the thing for us, we were now united forever by the bond of Dublin Fair, which had been forced to clean up. Once again, we were off on the German state across the water to what was to become our new home.

[07:36]

End of quote. 11 or 12 hours after our boarding of church, we arrived at our school from home, and the first thing we did was to go to the chapel for a brief time of prayer and thanksgiving to God for his provision in bringing us to this place. This monument had been created for 15 years, and in Jesus' tabernacle has never been empty. In this year, it had been adapted for elderly religious, so there were time drills and walking showers suitable for the needs of our more elderly sisters all going to be in place. The sisters were kept of beds, sheets and furniture, so we had a pre-conference in the conference, and our time existed on the Isle of Wight, had arranged for a delivery school so that we would not need to worry about the first few meals, which truly got lost business and a charitable fellowship which was dedicated once again. Over the next few months, we started to focus on putting down physical and spiritual roots. There were then 12 of us, and our only regular income was eight basic oldest pensions that the Lord provided. Notice I would stop there when I said it was provided before something entirely provided. What actually happened was, In England, did you pay your national insurance pension? We've come to your old age and have to pay pension. So as our citizens, we've always found that the agencies who are of that age are eligible for their pension.

[08:39]

And the idea was that we would call out pension. I'm sure we could start our ministry of hospitality, getting there, doing retreats, et cetera, who are now living. But the problem was that we would do a hold-up between our decisions from our housing community. So initially, we were literally there without any money. So we've been taking action for us. of our aunties in Hong Kong, the citizens, going there, they were actually going to leave us to leave without attending. And I said, if my sister dies, I don't actually have any much to pay for coffee. Can we have an advance of what is our entitlement, our citizens? Anyway, the trade was given up 3,000 pounds since 12 of us. So that would cost the cup of coffee, et cetera. So we had 3,000 pounds in history. That was eight months ago. But after that, for some reason, they couldn't think about any of our money. It went on and on and on. So what happened was,

[09:56]

various people brought us food, and that's how we not managed the first few weeks. So I'm saying that all provided, that kind of provided, members of the parish for all the tips of food, and it all became already in practice, because after a lunch club on Tuesday, they had a special club for the elderly of the parish on Tuesday, so next to the timing is to come to us for our two-fifth supper, and they're always putting up for more than one night supper, et cetera. And members of the parish kindly decided to provide us with tea, coffee and sugar every week, and another one generally brought us to the ingredients that we eat for our main Sunday dinner. And that's what happened until we got our, um, coming through, the parish they had to be took care of us. So that, in other words, the law took charge for us to the local parish. My spiritual priority has been concerned about how we might have a daily mass. Before we came, I discovered that the perverted parish church was only two doors along. The problem was being that, at the moment of Saturday, it included, the daily parish mass was held in our convent chapel. So I think it led this, that we've been great now to be doing that custom. The parish then didn't mean to keep my self-authorized development of the parish church building during the week, and we didn't actually have a daily mass. So this worked out beautifully. and that to be resisting, that there were other challenges.

[11:00]

During two months of our arrival, two of the younger, illicit sisters separately displayed a call to our communities. One was calling her back to the community on the Isle of Wight, which will lead it to eight months. The other was the one who originally came to a different kind of new unity. The other was a Catholic identity, typical government behind us, which she felt drawn to a more active Catholic community. So we discerned that it's right to let both districts have their sense of calling, but inevitably there was serious implications. It meant that we were committed to 10 Christians, with only myself and another Christian at the most great Christian age. We just had to trust that God would come to our take care of the future. And confirmation for us that only were easy came that, almost immediately, the first was known that they were ready to erect us properly and destroy or condemn us from our streets of religiously spirituality within the personal ordinary act. An unusual process would take years, but they'd actually done it all in exactly one year. One year on, from the day we were retreating to the church's company, we were officially erected, and we were left the next few years in the church. Brilliant. So, on 1 January, exactly one year after we were received, we were set up and we reaffirmed our bowels.

[12:03]

Our bowels had been recognized by those, but we were re-pronounced them cognitively as kathnick, and then it is in the formularies, so that everybody would be able to see us and hear us doing that, and that would be the next stage in our life. Now, one of the sisters, at that point, she was in support, and she's been in it for 15 years, both and I were close to two at the time to explain how it's been for her, and this is what she said, I quote. When I was in my next sisters, I depicted a wide old sister in our infirmary, and I asked her what might be this someone of my age about preparing for death. She thought for a moment and then said, practice letting go. In dealing with this, we've all had to let go of so much that belongs to our personal and what is our shared task. I certainly had to let go of any similar and many parts of contact. For all of us, the comments have been our tone, for some of us, it's really myself, for more than 50 years. It was only to let go of the old life, such as new life to be possible for us. I knew that having to let go was an unavoidable aspect of getting old. I used to think that with the onset of old age, there would be a gradual progression from doing to doing. In fact, it was not gradual for me.

[13:06]

There was sometimes a loss of nudity, bringing with it the loss of independence. It's been a place of one challenge after another, and of learning in a way, not to me personally, but it's working in my life and asking me to stop him. So I find myself thinking that if this is indeed a bit of post to this stage of my life, and what would it become, then it's not enough to accept it, I must learn to embrace it, and that, in itself, is the next challenge. She is not the only sister who had to embrace the challenges that faced us in those months. Shortly before Christmas that year, that first year, a different immigrant ages with five nodes with breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy from a bipolar daily radiotherapy for weeks. Another sister went to Phoenix in hospital over Christmas that year with heart failure. Another sister was hospitalized with a broken hip, and these three sisters were all in their ages, but it still all felt we were living in grace all day. I've once often explained, I read recently about the founders of a religious community in the 19th century who, after a wondrous, tenuous and influential in life, found herself in old age, a novelty, certified and forgotten.

[14:08]

She complies to a priest who visited her, I think that you've lost everything you have in the world as I have. Such a wonderful new life comes into you. I think about her words and admire and hope and protection. We said all is the unknown with no guarantee for the future. Do we regret it? No. No system has regretted the steps in it's taken. We train up a beautiful historic convent with a 24-hour staff this term, and we look at the perfect field convent. We look up to each other with legitimate support for the national health. We have to leave behind our own existence. We have been given Catholic 50-year brothers who have found their mouth and infection, so have all the things that are part of the Catholic worldwide family. We have to really come home in search. We are all not friends. We have discovered who our true friends really are. We have been chosen to make extraordinary charity, by God in calling us to his church, and by providing us with all our spiritual and central needs, by the bridegums providing us twelve strangers with a home for eight months, by the anonymous manufacturer who purchased our monastery and now was prevented, by the local parish providing us with peace and donations to keep us going.

[15:13]

We are living in challenging times. Temple called Christmas, last Christmas, we were told by our landlord for the time he wanted to sell the land for joining our convent. So our landlord is not moving about, but warned us that as the adjacent land is being sold and developed for small residential estate, it will come right up to the boundaries of our property, but might be seen for a couple of years of money to be building wealth. Further, the great potential cost is much against us, the presently client we've had so far will be in a row there. So we've advised that now it's time to move. Up far, we have family-owned property to move to, and the big issue about natural funds, but they're just getting almost time to find where we're supposed to be. But we feel that there is terrible place available for every challenge, and that even our challenges who found the chorus at the time of assessing. The sister, one of the two sisters who left, if you remember the two of the other ones, one did transfer to Rice, she transferred to them, and she said, go to them if she's getting started with her again, but she's taking it from the valve, and she's very happy there. The second sister had come from another community, she then showed it to the more active community, and started off with them, and then thought she made a digital state of her life, and asked to come back.

[16:14]

So she had come back, and we got into a hack with her in arms, and she's fully one of us, again, et cetera, and life carries on. Um, we do do that kind of department. We talk about Henry, as he's looking after us, and at least we had this registration at Olo, which, if we don't have a brand new, would be all right. Shortly after we arrived, originally, I hadn't thought I was very much nicer to him, would be very careful. I'm a sister's kitchen in and said, Mother, we don't actually have any best bread for a morning breakfast. Um, I think that's quite well what we're going to do, so we're going to have to go out on roads and buy some bread. Um, so I said to her, I'll see proper, either you or I will go out and get us some bread, um, because the shop is still open. During the supper, the doorbell found it. It was a parishioner, who we didn't know, who brought us to carry a bag for the shopping that she bought with lightnings, and in the bag, had two loads of bread. And that was when I thought, do you know what? The Lord depends upon us. We are going to do a right. When we need something, people are sending it. And we truly tell the black members that we were experiencing once again charity friendship with this kind parishioner. We have confidence for the future because we have confidence in our loving God whose charity towards his children is founded.

[17:17]

The purpose of this retreat that means the price for the very kitchen understanding of peace. To do this, we looked attentively at five specific areas, using the rules and genetics as a framework, the rights and writings of which John Henry Hill has our guide. And those areas were mind-sherenity , fear-transferency , heart-sensitivity , love forms , and charity fellowship . The youth movement but you may never saw himself as a saint, but that's precisely why we can relate to him, because he was ordinary, he struggled with the right challenges that we do. If only two of these only faithful things have followed. I have nothing of a faith about me, as everyone knows, and it is a severe and throw-it-free multiplication to be caught next door to one. I may have a ton of you got many things, but it is a consequence of education and of a peculiar part of intellect that it is a very different thing from being what I admire. I have no tendency to be a saint, it is a sad thing to say. They do not literally, literally, literally, no, they do not matter Catholic, they do not grant tales.

[18:24]

I may be well enough in my own way, but it is not the high line. It is enough me to grab the same shoes if St. Philip, of patience, you live back in heaven. This aim of our first journey, and this is what process evolved. So let me invite you for the last time to see a million sticking to you, and in a way these words turn up the whole retreat retreat. Talk to yourselves then, my dear child, into the hands of your loving father and your hero, who loves and loves you better than you love or love yourself. He has acquainted every action of your life. He connects you to save you and has marked down the very way and hour which he will take you to yourself. He knows all your thoughts and feels to you in all your sadness more than a creature can feel and accepts and makes notes of your prayers even before you make them. He will never fail you and he will give you what is best for you. And though he tries you, and seems to withdraw himself from you, don't afflict you, still trust in him.

[19:29]

For at length he will see how good and gracious he is, and how well he will provide for you. Be courageous and generous, and give him your heart, and he will never repent of the sacrifice. Amen. Oh, cool. Oh, cool. Oh, cool. Yeah, yeah. Oh, cool. that if you started the whole thing with obedience, the first conference here, and you end up with this, one of the better words.

[20:31]

Not my problem. But anyway, having to move out of the way you were from the A-Granek story. All you think of was, excuse me, the theme, Sledging Road. When you think about school, then it's, listen, they can't listen, they must go. I was thinking, the whole time you tell them this whole story, they'd be letting go. But you just started to meet the problem that they go, by the way. The other thing I was wondering, I'm obviously not in person, is a walk-in shower. Oh, right. No, basically, the shower is just in such a way that, um, you pull the door open and just walk into it. There's no step or anything. Oh. So it's brilliant for, um, people to talk about ideas or whatever. You don't have to talk about anything. You just, um, just walk in and then you can talk to your subject. I need to describe something, but you know where you describe something. I'm fishing. I've been doing this for years.

[21:39]

We're going out. It's the worst time to go, but they go out anyway. It's quite deep, but they try to put it up. And that's an abundance of what I could do about it. It's an amazing testament to all of what we have. Keep it available for people who are alive to read it. And that would be amazing. That would be something that I guess.
