Well, greetings to everyone. In this final address, we shall reflect upon the entirety of thought and others as we consider the story of the District of the Metropolitan Area. I'm going to share something of our unfolding story. I've already spoken at the beginning of our history about how 12 energy systems became Catholic nouns. Today, I'm going to describe something about how our journey has continued, how our physical journey of trying to find the building to live in impacted upon our spiritual journey of making a spiritual home for a new community, and how the corporate journey has affected these systems' personal stories. Finally, I shall seek to draw out from it all our experience of the challenge of the grace of nothing from the challenge of the fellowship of others. Shortly before we were received as a Catholic, I wanted the whole community that teachers who wanted to be received as a Catholic had to be prepared to walk down a line with just what she could carry in a bag in her hand, leaving anything else behind, without any guarantee for the teachers to go towards Islam's faith in accordance with their conscience.

[01:16]

So, first wanted, stepped forward, and we were received as a Catholic self on the birth of January 2013. The morning after our reception, we made our opinion as a Catholic for the first and last time in a convict that came through then as being our spiritual home. After that, the 12 of us, with our essential personal possessions, all his hopes had set off. We had no money, no home. We left him no financial settlement from our previous community, no government, just a firm connection that the coming cabinet was our responsible considering call to Colin Lee. We arrived at the 16th Abbey on the Isle of Wight. The Isle of Wight is a little island, just off the mainland of England. It's part of England that you have to go to study, or put a public card, and you're familiar with public card, to get there. So, we mentioned the ferry, and we arrived at six years. We were close to be there for six weeks, but it turned into eight months. Basically, after we dressed, we were told we can't come back, so we would stop there until we find a new home. So we tried to remember that we were being called to remain with our sisters. We loved them and felt they were only nice for us, and it's our concrete determination for us that God is calling us to continue our journey elsewhere, but where and how would it be possible?

[02:22]

Despite the fact that we had no money, with which we were prior to the property, in faith, our democracy set There are 6-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8- So even for other ages, they couldn't come in to be in a photo. Pretend if they may get out of the cup of life. As I raised her off, my last words to her were, as soon as you get to know them well, go to the chapel, hear from your knees, and beg the letter John Henry Newman to find us at home. She didn't procrastinate. That same night, she emailed me to say that as she left the chapel, she got into one of those supervisors, and she said, what have you been? And she said, I didn't do anything to come in this town with all the eyes of white. And this supervisor said, no, no.

[03:24]

There's comments about people to tell up the road. So to get out of me with details, I've packed down with Mr. Superior, it's a great evening, and by Friday evening, I've phoned Mr. Superior on the phone. She told me that there's already news in the Presbyterian of the road. It's a news approach corner, so there's a journalism that will be said, and the rest that's gone back to the main convent in Ireland, they've got Irish land, or they've been talking about these countries, but there's just three less there in a convent, and they do need to press the truth up the road, and that's one of the ways to tell these to the convent. So she told me that we didn't know him to presently, and so I was about to remove all furniture and the sake of action that they could not take with them. How soon do we need to do, I asked, and she said, as soon as possible. So, next morning, I'll be in the first cover part at the Three Isle of Wives, accompanied by another sister, and race to Birmingham to do the convent. Mr. Pukinia showed us around and explained that the convent had built for them 15 years before, but they now needed to sell it because their sisters were too old to carry on there, and they only needed to bring care homes, so it wasn't needed anyway. They have desperately not wanted to be sold to developers, but could not imagine that any other religious community would come forward to buy it.

[04:28]

Because of the time to cry in the eyes of white, if we were to get back that night, we had just those that empowered to view the convent and set off our own journey. But in the minutes of arriving, we knew it was the right place. It's perfect, we said to a clearly delighted with the superior. It was very good, she said. She's been in. But we have no money to pay for it, was the next thing I said. I said, I've got an investor, so I'm sure what wants to hear. He will provide what we need. So it's crazy to change. This mighty woman that was faced with weed, I wouldn't leave it at all. I think she'd say that I was in the cleaning cupboard, she was like, oh, I'll get ready for now, she's going to come. I'm like, stop, leave everything. You don't have anything, anything you don't need, just leave. I mean everything. Then all the children get, and that's exactly what happens. So they left us a pretty childish convent, because they didn't need anything, and so we didn't have to worry about things, anything, it was all there. Sister Lucalia explained this was on the Friday, no after day, so she explained that the party would take as old as the market in two days' time on Monday, Thursday, Monday morning. But I asked her to contact the state agent and to tell them not to put it on the end of the market.

[05:32]

I said, just give us time to raise the sacrifice. This wonderful face of business agreed to do just that. She copied subsequently, the night we spoke on the phone that Friday, I told the other sisters who were coming to you tomorrow morning, so I said to them, it's only prayer that they should bring this out. The next day when we arrived, we were uncritical in our desire to purchase a little bit of money. But I told her the Lord would survive, it was the Lord's will, and she's free. So he cancelled the health care company, stopped these vacations, and was naked. Within a couple of days, he had confirmed that his benefactor, who was 10 million alumnus, had heard of our wife and decided to provide a convent, allowing us to live there, paying rent, and using local. And that's the first example of charitable fellowship.

[06:33]

We had come to appreciate the meaning of charitable fellowship, for both race and ethnicity, and had been experiencing to build bride sisters, allowing us to come and live with them for eight months, but now it was time for us to depart. are never understood to take up the story of our departure provide. Approach. The reality of our departure gradually grew as is a pile of luggage that we know is going at the bottom of the lane stairs. When we get to perform, it is perhaps a good thing for the cultural arts earlier than expected, as the practicalities of loading through normal and technique and rounding up sisters to charge at those very final minutes. The coach driver was our old friend who was brought us to the island of Wight, who wanted for all those ones to know. Did you remember us? He certainly did. And he also had serious memories of getting the coach stuck when attempting to bring us up the avenue drive. Frank finished his time all as well, as the church had been brought to the back entrance and loaded there. The two communities fell together from the last time to stay so well, awareness in God, we were now united forever by the bonds of heaven's prayer, which had been forced between us. Once again, we brought us on the journey of faith across the water to what was to become our new home, end of quote. Seven or twelve hours after our boarding the church, we arrived at our new 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 and giving us this place.

[07:43]

This commune has been changed for 15 years, and it's used to have enough of never seen anything. In this year, it has been adapted for elderly religious, so there were time trails and walking towers suitable for the needs of our more elderly sisters already in place. The sisters were kept up feds, sheets and furniture, so we had a three-month-free homage, and our kind sisters on the Isle of Wight had arranged for a delivery spoon so that we would not need to worry about the first few meals. We truly got lost business and charitable fellowship, which was dedicated once again. Over the next few months, We started this approach to putting down physical and spiritual roots. There were then 12 of us, and our only regular income was eight basic old age pensions that the board provided. Notice I was put there when I said it was provided before something entirely provided. What actually happened was, in England, if you pay your left-hand choice one season, would come to your old age in touch with state pensions. So, as adolescents, we've always found that the eight persons who are of that age are eligible for their patients. And the idea was that we would call our pensions, and we would start our ministry of hospitality, dating guests, doing retreats, et cetera, to our vision.

[08:44]

But the problem was that there was a conduct between our dating our adolescents from our hand against the community. So initially, we were literally left without any money. So we've been declared action for us from our ancestors in Hongborn, et cetera, calling us, claiming us. They were actually going to leave us to leave without a penny. And I said, if we want to just decide, I don't actually have any money to pay for coffee. Can we have an advance of what is our entitlement, our conscience? Anyway, so the trade was given us £3,000 in 12 of us. So that would cost the company cost of coffee, et cetera. So we had £3,000 in this week. That was eight months ago. But after that, for some reason, the two things took out any of our money. It went on and on and on. So the realm we're living on was smaller and smaller. I also heard two of the elder sisters on the day could tell me how much bread they were using, because they were saving our main food for the elderly sisters. So that one had got a purchase on me, because this email to our interview, he said, to their father, the sisters are hungry. He was no reply. I got to reply three weeks later, saying I was foreign to get a sister on me, but by then I was taking action. I went to the parish priest, and it was a place for me.

[09:45]

I think I said something. Our money hasn't come through yet, and I'm having a split of problems looking after the sisters. So what happened was, various people brought up food. And that coming up, that is the first two weeks. So I'm saying that all provided, that parent provided, members of the parish called to stick to food, and it all became a regular practice, but after a lunch cup on Tuesday, they had such a cup for the elderly in the parish on Tuesday, but next to the time, you come to us for our two-fifth supper, and they're always pushing 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, also three ingredients every week for our main Sunday dinner. And that's what happened, so we've got our own money coming through the parish station to be put care of us. But in other words, the rules took charge for us to the local parish. My spiritual party had been disturbed by how we might have a daily mass. Before we came, I discovered that the local parish church was only two doors along. The problem was being that at the moment that Saturday it created, the daily parish mass was held in our common chapel. So I've been delighted that we've been very glad to be sitting in that custom.

[10:47]

The parish then didn't seem to keep my civil rights development of the parish church building during the week, and we would actually have a daily mass. So this will work out beautifully. and that to see a great thing, that there were other challenges. During two months of our arrival, children younger physically kicked distance, and put each of those calls to our communities. One of the participants, of course, was calling a national community on the island of Wight, which only did for eight months. The other was the one who was originally held to a different kind of community unity. Lesnar was a 10% community, people with other ones behind us, but she felt drawn to a more active Catholic community. So we determined that it was right to let both citizens have their sense of calling, but inevitably there were serious implications. It meant that we were community 10 prisoners, with only myself and another prisoner below state pension age. We just had to trust that God would come to our take care of the future. And confirmation for us that only were needed came that, almost immediately, we were ready to erect us properly, and the folly or conness of our tree of religiously spirituality within the custom-ordinary act. In these usual process, it takes years, but they've actually done it all in exactly one year.

[11:47]

One day we were receiving to the church's company, we were officially erected, and we were left the native community in the church. Brilliant. So, on the 1st of January, exactly one year after we were received, we were set up and we reaffirmed our bowels. Our bowels had been recognised by those, so we were re-pronounced them cognitively as Catholic, and then it used to be 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 age four, and she'd been in it in five to 60 years, wrote an article at the time to explain how it would be for her, and this is what she said, I quote, 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, let him go. In dealing with this, we've all had to let go of so much that we've gone to our personal, as well as our shared past. I've certainly had to let go of any similar and many past of contacts. For all of us, the comments have been our tone. For some of us, including myself, for more than 60 years, it was only through letting go of the old life that had never been possible for us.

[12:52]

I knew that having to let go was an unpredictable aspect of getting old. I used to think that with the onset of old age, there would be a gradual progression from toying to teeing. In fact, it was not gradual for me. There was stubbornness and lost the most of my ability, putting with it the loss of independence. It's been a stage of one's talent after another, and of learning in ways, not to meet specifically, God is working in my life and asking me to trust Him. So I find myself thinking that this trip isn't needed for the rest of this stage of my life, and for what it is to come, that it is not enough to accept it, and have learned 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. Shorts had Christmas that year, that first year, and she put him in at eighties with five nodes with breast cancer and had to have an aseptomy from a bipolar baby radiotherapy for weeks. Another sister said that Phoenix in hospital over Christmas that year was heart failure. Another sister was hospitalized with a broken hip, and these three sisters were all in their eighties, but it still all felt we were living in grace those days. As one of them explains, I quote, I read recently about the founders of a religious community in the 19th century who, after a wonderful, tenuous and influential good life, found themselves in old age, and nobility, certified and forgotten.

[14:06]

She's invited to a priest who visited her. I think when 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 participation. Mr. Hoyt is the unknown with no guarantee for the future. Do we regret it? No. No system has regretted the steps in its token. We train half of the youthful historic conference with a 24-hour staff this time read, and we look at the perfect group, comrades. We look onto each other with additional support for the national health. We have to leave behind our aging systems. We have been given 10-year-old 50-year-old brothers, who have tried to advance an infection, so that what it means to be part of the company, Worldwide Family. We have three come home in search. We are all lost friends. Thank you for that, for our true friends, we really are. We have been terminated for this charity, by dogs and colonists in his church, and by providing us with all our spiritual and sensual needs, by the guidelines, providing us 12 strangers, as opposed to 8 months, by the anonymous literature, through churches, our modesty, and our services, by the local parish, providing us with peace and relations to keep us going.

[15:10]

We are living in challenging times. Temporal Christmas, last Christmas, we were told by our landlords that this giant is wanted to sell the land, destroying our convent, that our landlord is not needed at all, I wonder that as the adjacent land is being sold to developers for small rents next to it's safe, it will come right up to the boundaries of our property for 90 years and for a couple of years of money to build any worth. Further, the great potential cost of price against us, the present fee of client we've had so far will be no longer, doing the advice that that now is trying to lose. But far, we have found without property to lose too, and the new issue about lack of funds, but they're just getting on with time quite well than today. But we feel that there is terrible grace available for every challenge, and that even our challenges and found a place at the time of a session. One of the two sisters in the next, if you remember the two of the other ones, wanted to transfer to Rice, she transferred to them, and she opened it up again, and she was taking the ball in the ball, and she was very happy there. The second sister had come from another community, she then started at the more active community, and started off with them, and then thought she needed a different place of her life, and asked to come back.

[16:12]

So she had come back, and we walked into a hat with her own arms, and she was fully one of us, again, etc., and life carried on. We used all that kind of equipment. We still collected from Henry, as he was looking after us. And at least there was a little bit of space in it earlier, which, even though the brand new would be all right. Shortly after the arrived, at least we hadn't thought I was very much planning session, we would be very careful. One of the sisters kissed me and said, Mother, we don't actually have any best bread for the morning breakfast. I think that was quite all about what we were doing, so I thought we'd have to go out on those and buy some bread. So I said to her, I'll take off her, either you or I will go out and get us some bread, for the shop to fill open. During supper, the doorbell salvaged. It was a parishioner, who we didn't know, who brought us a carrier bag full of shopping that she bought with right names, and in the bag, had two loads of bread. And that was the moment I thought, you know what, the Lord has his hand upon us, we have gained a single bite, but we need something, people will send it. And we truly tell to that, members, that we were experiencing once again charity fellowship to this kind parishioner. We have confidence for the future, because we have confidence in our loving God, whose charity devotes children, their founders.

[17:14]

The purpose of this retreat, has been the quest for the benedictine understanding of peace. To do this, we've looked attentively at five specific areas, using the rules associated as a framework, the rights and writings of John Henry Newman as our guide, and those areas were mind serenity , spirit congruity , heart simplicity , love bonds , and charity fellowship . Reduced movement that you may never saw himself as a saint. But that's precisely why we can relate to him, because he was orderly, he struggled with the right challenges that he proved. It's only two of these very faithful things as follows. I have nothing of a saint about me, as everyone knows, and it is a severe and solitary mortification to be caught next door to one. I may have a hundred but many things, but it is the consequence of education and of the senior cast of intellect that this 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. I may be well announced in my own way, but it is not the high line.

[18:25]

It is enough me to wrap the same shoes if St. Philip, patiently, uses wrapping in heaven. The aim of our spiritual journey, and feet is all closer to God. So let me invite you for the last time to see a new and sticking to you. And in a way, your words sum up the whole retreat retreat. Put yourself down, my dear child, into the hands of your loving father and his hero, who knows and loves you better than you know or love yourself. He has acquainted every action of your life. He created you, sustains you, and has marked down the very way and hour when he will take you to himself. He knows all your thoughts and feels to you in all your sadness more than any creature can feel, and accepts and makes notes of your prayers, even before you make them. He will never tell you, and he will give you what is best for you. And when he tries you, and seems to withdraw himself from you, don't fix you, still trust in him.

[19:26]

For at length we 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, my. Excellent. Excellent. Yeah. [...] that you started all thinking about opinions, the first conference, and you end up with this, one of the pedigree, not a problem, but anyway, having to move out of the way you were, from like the Abraham story, all you think of was, excuse me, the things, let him go.

[20:38]

When you think about school leaders, listen, they can't listen, I must go. I was thinking the whole time you tell them this whole story of you, let him go. But you destroyed me without letting go, anyway. The other thing I want to do is a walk-in shower. Ah, right. No, no, basically, the shower injection comes from the, um, you pull the door open and just walk into it. There's no step or anything. Oh. So it's, um, so it's free for, um, people to, uh, a few years or whatever, they don't have to talk about anything. You just, um, just walk in, and then you pull the door shut down. I knew it was a sky top, but I didn't know where he was describing. Okay. I'm fishing, I've been doing this for years, but going out.

[21:53]

It's the worst time to go. But they go out anyway. It's a great detail, but they have put them up. And in fact, they spend that abundance. They're part of what I did about it since now. But they didn't even ask to help or get it. And I think that would be amazing. That is something to ask guests.
