Well, greetings to everyone. In this final address, We shall reflect upon the challenging of course and others as we consider the story of the systems of the metropolitan area. I'm interested in something of our unfolding story. I've always questioned at the beginning of our retreat about how 12 energy systems became happening around me. Today, I'm going to describe something of how our journey continues, 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 each sister's personal story. Finally, I shall seek to draw out from us all our experience of God's charitable grace of destiny through the charitable fellowship of others.

[01:05]

Shortly before we were in this Catholic, I warned the whole community that this sister ought to be received as a Catholic, how to be prepared to walk down a bride who just wanted to carry the advice in her hands, leaving anything else behind, without any guarantees for the future. just going forward in divine faith, in accordance with their conscience. So, first of all, this stepped forward and we were received into the Catholic Church on the 1st of January 2013. The morning after our reception, we made our communion at the Catholic, for the first and last time, in a convict, until then had been our spiritual home. After that, the 12 of us, with our essential personal possessions, ordered his coach and set off. We had no money, no home. We led through no trimester settlement for our previous community, known in Ireland, with the firm connection that would come in Catholic with our response to our Lord's continuing call to follow me. We arrived at the 16th Avenue ride on the Isle of Wight. The Isle of Wight is a beautiful island, just off the mainland of England. It's part of England, but you have to go to the ferry, or put a public car, and you're familiar with public car, to get there. So, we mentioned the ferry, and we arrived at the 16th Avenue. We were technically there for six weeks, but it turned to eight months.

[02:10]

Now, basically, after a retreat, we were told to come back, so we were struck there, and we were just finding a new home. There was quite a lot of money because we were being called to relate with those sisters. We loved them and felt they were only loved to us, and it's our corporate retirement course that those were calling us to continue our journey elsewhere. But where and how would it be possible? Despite the fact that we have no money, we've reached for prior to the property, in-state, I only love a sister, tell our six-day agent particulars, and visitors from these possibilities. We haven't allowed to place certain things in our homes. All our plans came in a wandering way. An American Dominican visitor from a national division, down in Tennessee, was always to turn up institutes in Birmingham, the first parliament just won't stand in Newby. She was tugging there during the TXC due to what she was burning, and we come to know the parliament community. So she came to visit us from the Isle of Wight for a couple of nights, staying up by the enclosure, because on the Isle of Wight they had paper in the enclosure, so even for other villages they couldn't come into the enclosure. She came to stay there and get out for a couple of nights. As I raised her off, my last words for her were, As soon as you get to know them, go to the chapel, get up on your knees, and then let the John Henry Newman to find us at home.

[03:15]

She did this requested. That same night, she emailed me to say that, as she left the chapel, she went into one of the supervisors. And she said, can you read me? And she said, can I give you some comments on the Isle of Wight? And this supervisor said, well, you know, there's comments about people prevailing up the road. So she emailed me with the details. I tapped down the people superior, this was very late evening. And by Friday evening, I spoke to Mr Superior on the phone. She told me that they had already moved into the Presbytery off the road, which was at the community close corner, so we were just near them that were based there, the rest that had gone back to the main convent in Ireland, they were Irishmen, or they were talking about these countries that were just three dead there, in a convent, and they moved into the Presbytery off the road, and that's when the rest of there would be the convent. But she told me that we would be moved into the Presbytery, and so I was about to remove all structure and justice actions, but they could not take distance. How soon did we need to do, I asked. and she said, as soon as possible. So, next morning, I'll be in the third cover-class that led the three-eyed wife, accompanied by another sister, and we race to Birmingham to view the convent.

[04:16]

Sister Cecilia turned around and explained that the convent had been cut itself to them 15 years before, but they now needed to sell it, because their sisters were too old to carry on there, and the elderly used to break hair homes, so it wasn't needed anyway. 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 kind of supply in the eyes of white, If we were going to get back that night, we had just a certain power to do the conference and to set off on our journey. But in the midst of arriving, we knew it was the right thing. It's perfect, we said to a clearly delighted Mr. Cisteria. Very good, she said. She's been here. But we have no money to take it, was the next thing I said. I said, I've got to convince that if I'm sure I want to hear, he will provide what we need. So it's crazy and it's changed. This mighty woman of faith has reached, and we can see it before. As Mr. Cisteria, I think the team comes global. Oh, okay, where's all that? It'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. They're all together yet.

[05:16]

And that happens. They left us a storytelling content because they didn't need anything. And so we didn't have to worry about bed, anything. It's all there. This was here and explained this was on the Friday, but it was up today. So this was so explained that the party would do to go on the ocean market in two days' time on Monday, Thursday, Monday morning. But I asked her to contact the fake agent and just tell them not to put it on the local 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 we spoke on the phone that Friday, I told the other sisters who were coming to the news tomorrow morning, so I said to them, it's only prayer that they should bring us out. But I'm going to keep an all-night prayer to you, who are welcome to join me. But the other sisters were too exhausted. The business appearing straight up and goes to the night, praying that we would agree to buy the fake content. Eventually, after most of her mind's heart was heartbeat, and she got two types of parallels, she told the Lord, Jesus, I don't know, it's up to you, and she will obey. 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 any women who had any money.

[06:18]

But I told her the Lord would survive, it was the Lord's will, and she agreed. So she cancelled the hospital economy, stopped in vacations, and was wasted. Within a couple of days, she had confirmed that the manufacturer was to remain anonymous. I took my flight and decided to buy a convent, allowing us to live there, paying rent. And it was indeed a miracle. And that's the first problem of charitable fellowship. We had come to appreciate the meaning of charitable fellowship, for both race and nothing, as it experienced it to build bride's sisters, allowing them to come and live with them for eight months, but now it was time for us to depart. But I read our sisters to pick up the story that our department provided. I quote, The reality of our departure, where as we grew, has used a pile of luggage that we don't see at the bottom of the main stairs. On the day 12th halls, it was perhaps a good thing that the coach arrived earlier as expected, as the practicalities of loading through novels and techniques and rounding up history to charge of those very final minutes. The coach driver was our old friend who was brought up to the line of white, from one inch or those ones below. Did you remember us? He certainly did. And he also had finished memories of getting the coach stuck when tempting to bring us up the alley drive.

[07:21]

Thanks for this time all as well, as the coach had been brought to the back entrance and loaded there. The two communities fell together for the last time to stay so well, aware that in God we will now be united forever by the bonds of seven prayer, which has been forced to clean up. What began to prove us on the journey of faith across the water to what was to become our new holy, end of quote. Seven or 12 hours after our boarding of the church, we arrived at our new holy, 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 bringing us to this place. His covenant had been changed for 15 years, and indeed the covenant called his networking entry, In this year, it has been adapted for elderly religious, so there were timeshells and walking showers suitable for the nature of our more elderly sisters already in faith. The sisters are kept of beds, sheets and furniture, so we had a pre-consumption in commerce, and our clients listed on the Isle of Wight and arranged for a delivery school so that we would not need to worry about the first few nails. We truly felt those public and the charitable fellowship which was demonstrated 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 old age pensions that the board provided.

[08:26]

And then just, I would stop there. When I said it was provided, it was more complicated than I did. What actually happened was, in India, did you pay your national insurance pension, would come to your old age and have to save pensions. So, as I mentioned, we've always found that, so the agencies who are of that age are eligible for their pensions. And the idea was that we would call out pensions, and show it to start our ministry of hospitality, taking their retreats, et cetera, to return our vision. But the problem was there was a hold-up between getting our citizens from our indigenous community. So initially, we were literally left without any money. So we've been taking action for us from our indigenous in Melbourne that said to them, going left, leaving left, they were actually going to leave us to leave without a penny. And I said, if I'm going to put the size, I don't actually have any much potential copy. And we have an advance of what is our entitlement, our conscience. Anyway, so the president gave us £3,000 in 12 of us. So that would cost a couple of coffee, etc. So we had £3,000 a couple of days off to go. But after that, for some reason, they couldn't think we took out any of our money.

[09:27]

It went on and on and on and on. So that would be around the living room was in smaller and smaller. I also heard two of the elderly sisters from the age of clearly how much weight they were losing, because they were saving our main food for the elderly sisters. So at that point, a lot of pressure from me. So please email to our bakery and say, dear father, please don't be hungry. That was no reply. I got to reply three weeks later. So I was trying to get a sister hungry, but by then I was taking action. Oh, it's the parish priest. I think I said something. I've only had to come through yet, and I'm having a bit of problem looking after the pictures. So the parish. So what happened was, various people brought up food, and that's how we managed the first two weeks. So when I say that you're provided, that parish provided, members of the parish called her sister food, and it's always kind of ready to practice, but after a lunch start on Tuesday, they had a special class on the elderly, the parish on Tuesday. The next person's family needs to come to us. for our two trip supper, and they're always pushing up for more than one night supper, etc. A member of the parish kindly decided to provide us with our tea, coffee and sugar every week, and another one generally also has been included every week for our main Sunday dinner.

[10:29]

And that's what happened until we got our money coming through, the parish basically took care of us. In other words, the rules took part for us to the local parish. My spiritual party had been concerned with how we might have a daily mass. Before we came, I discovered that the government of the parish church was only two doors along, The problem was being that, at the moment of Saturday, the daily parish mass was held in our convent chapel. So I think of the message that we would be very close to the beginning of that custom. The parish said he didn't need to keep my support behind the building of the parish building during the week, and we will actually have a daily mass. So this will work out beautifully. And that's just a great thing, because there were other challenges. But in the two months of our arrival, children younger physically fixed distance were pretty displaying the call to our experiences. One of the Christians felt God was calling a vast community on the Isle of Wight. with whom we decided not. The other was the one who did recently come to a different kind of community. Lesnar was a Catholic identity to proper government and join us, but she felt drawn to a more active Catholic community. So we determined it was right to let both citizens have their sense of calling, but inevitably there were serious implications.

[11:30]

It meant that we were community 10 Christians, but only myself and another sister of the most vacation age. We just had to trust that brother somehow take care of the future. A confirmation for us between religious saying that almost immediately we first were born, but they were ready to erect us. properly, had the fully or commonest mastery of religious and spirituality within the personal ordinary act. In its usual process takes years, but they've actually done it all in exactly one year. One year long, from the day we were received into the church as Catholic, we were simply elected and we were selected to live in the church. Brilliant. So, from 1st of January, exactly one year after we were received, we were set up and we reaffirmed our vows. Our vows would be recognized by those, but we would re-pronounce them cognitively as Catholic, in Benedictine's formularies so that everybody will be able to see us and hear us doing that on the next stage of our lives. Now, one of the sisters, at that point she was 84, and she's been in the department of 16 years, wrote an old project at the time to explain how it'd be for her, and this is what she said, I quote, When I was in my mid-60s, I depicted a wide older sister in our infernary, and I asked her, what is right to do with someone of my age about preparing for death?

[12:36]

She thought for a moment and then said, practice letting go. In these instances, we all have to let go of so much that belong to our personal and what is our shared path. I certainly have to let go of each teamwork and many partial contacts. For all of us, the comments have been our tone. For some of us, including myself, for more than 50 years, it was only through letting go of the old life that the new life became possible for us. I knew that having to let go was an unsurgical aspect of getting old. I knew to think that with the onset of old age, there would be a gradual progression from chewing to being. In fact, it was not practical for me. There is suddenly time left the loss of mobility, feeling with it the loss of independence. It's been a stage of one challenge 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 if this is indeed the will be close to this stage of my life, and for what is to come, then it is not enough to accept it. I must learn to embrace it, and that in itself is the next challenge. End of quotation. Jesus is not the only sister who had to embrace the challenges that faced us in those months.

[13:39]

For Christmas that year, that first year, a student in their 80s with five nodes with breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy for a variety of daily radiotherapy for weeks. Another sister sent Phoenix in hospital over Christmas that year with heart failure. Another sister was hospitalised with a broken hip, and these three sisters were all in their 80s, but it still all felt we were living in a great field day. As one of them explained, I read recently about the founders of a religious community in the 19th century who offered a wonderful, tenuous and influential life found herself in old age, a nobility, certified and forgotten. She confided to a priest who visited her, I think when you have lost everything you have seen in the world as I have, such a wonderful new life comes into you. I think about her words and admire and hope and appreciation. We said all it is unknown, with no guarantee for the future. Do we regret it? No. No sister has regretted the flesh in its taken. We trained up a beautiful historic conference with a critical hour staff in Canary. and we have given an effective conference. We look after each other with additional support for the National Health.

[14:41]

We have to leave behind our Asian sisters. We have been given Catholic 50-year brothers who have by their last interception showed us what it means to be part of the Catholic Worldwide Family when they have truly come home in the church. We are all not friends. We have been shown the most extraordinary charity by God in calling us in his church and by providing us with all our spiritual and temporal needs by divine funds. providing us 12 strangers from the home to 8 months, by the anonymous collector who purchased our modesty and allowed us to rent it, by the local parish providing us with clean and donations to keep us going. In a living in challenging times, 10 before Christmas, last Christmas, we were told by our landlords that this giant is not to sell the land to join our convent. So our landlord is not moaning about, but warned us that as the adjacent land is being sold to developers for more extensive estate, it will come right up to the boundaries of our property, but might be being for a couple of years more easily worth. Further, the great potential cost of virtue data, the present thing a client has had so far will be no longer, doing the advice that now isn't trying to move.

[15:44]

Up far, we have found without property to move too, and there's a big issue about massive funds, but they're just getting involved with how to find where we're supposed to be. But we feel that there is terrible grace available for every challenge, and that even our challenges have done for us at the start of the testing. So one of the two sisters in there, if you remember the two of the other ones, one sister comes to her to Rice, she comes to her then, and she goes to them and she starts away with her again, but she enters the bottom bell, and she's very happy there. The second sister comes to another community, she goes to the more active community, and starts off with them, and ends up making a difficult place in her life, and asks her to come back. So she has come back, and we've got her to go back with her in arms, and she's fully one of us, again, et cetera, and we've carried on. We do feel that's kind of a problem. We've talked about Henry, as he's looking after us, Shortly after the arrives, we haven't got our very much money system and we will be very careful. One of the sisters kissed me and said, Mother, we don't have to have either bread for breakfast. I think we don't quite know what we'll do, so we'll have to go out on those and buy some bread.

[16:46]

So I said to her, I'll take off her, either you or I will go out and get us a bread. The shop is still open. During the supper, the doorbell found it. It was a parishioner, who we didn't know, who brought us a carrier bag for a shopping that she bought with white names, and in the bag passed two loads of bread. And that was the moment I thought, do you know what? The Lord depends upon us, we have done a single bite, but we leave on place, people send it. And we truly felt to black members that we were experiencing once again charity felicit, for this high parishioner. We have confidence for the future, because we have confidence in our loving God, whose charity towards his children they founded. The purpose of this retreat that feeds the price for the beneficiary and understanding of peace. To do this, we can look attentively at five specific areas, using the rules and genetics as a framework, the rights and writings of the John Henry Lillard as our guide. And those areas were, mind serenity , spirit transparency , heart consistency , love forms , and charity services .

[17:48]

Reduce Lillard that you never saw himself as a saint. That's precisely why we can relate to him, because he was ordinary, he struggled with large challenges as we zoomed. If only two of these only saints were a thing as follows. I have nothing of a saint about me that everyone knows, and it is a severe and threatening altercation to be caught next door to one. I may have a kind of view of many saints, but it is a consequence of education and of the peculiar part of intellect, but 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. They do not literally, literally, literally, then. They do not smug the Catholic, they do not guard tales. 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 has painted me. Use it back in heaven. The aim of our spiritual journey, and feed us all closer to God. So let me invite you for the last time, to fear no one sticking to me. And in a way, his words sum up the whole retreat retreat. Put yourself, then, my dear child,

[18:52]

into the hands of your loving Father and your healer, who knows and loves you better than you know or love yourself. He has acquainted every action of your life. He connects you, he saves you, and has marked down the very way and hour which he will take you to himself. 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 tell you and he will teach you what is best for you. And though he tries you, and seems to withdraw himself from you, and afflicts you, still trust in him. For at night you will see how good and gracious he is, and how well he will provide for you. Be courageous and generous, and deep in your heart, and you will never repent of the sacrifice. Amen. I couldn't have to take

[20:27]

He started the whole thing with obedience, the first contest here, and he ended up with this. I want to know better word. Not a problem. But anyway, I think they moved out of the way they were. All they gave her next story to come. All they paid off was, excuse me, the theme is let him go. When you think about school tennis, listen. If you can't listen, I must go. I was thinking the whole time they found this whole story, if you let him go. But he destroyed me. The other thing I was wondering, I hope it's a nice comparison, that would be a walk-in shower. Ah, right. No, Ted, 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, um, so it's brilliant for our old people to talk about these or whatever. You don't have to talk about anything. You just, um, just walk in, and then you pull the door to something. I knew it was the sky top, okay? You know what he was describing? Okay. When we read the first documentation, like they were going out, they only switched it.

[21:35]

They had to be dealing with a quote. They said, Peter, I'm his call. He just, because it was both, and we just, I'll tell you the same last thing, you know, we don't have to go out to deep water. So, it's a certain, another way, kind of, a similar thing, going out, but not efficient. I'm efficient, not to do this for years. We're going out, you know. It's the worst time to go, but they go out anyway. It's a great treat, but they check for them up. And in fact, that's London's third point of what I'm trying to do about this thing. They need to be testing the whole program. See, there's available for people to read it, and that would be amazing. That would be something that I guess.
