5th August was always a very special day for us nuns!
On 5th August 1965 I professed my vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and this Feast of Our Lady of the Snows is still an important day for the Salesian Sisters. They will be finishing off their annual retreat and some other young women will probably have made vows or promises just as I did all those years ago.
How life changes...today I am almost ready to depart for the Kingdon of Kerry with my nearly ten year old great grand niece Codie. We have been ready for ages and she is impatient to get going but all is timetabled. She keeps looking out for my friend's silver car and asking me over and over again 'How many minutes have we got before we go?'
It is teaming out of the heavens and I am only hoping that the rain has swept over dear old Ireland and the sun is shining there.
