A little Spanish flavour

My dear Friends
The language story goes on as I have decided to add a little Spanish to the mix.I have the opportunity to chat to a nice lady one-to-one and she is a Spanish speaker,who wants some English in return for the Spanish. So I have been reflecting...

Spanish is the language of the great Teresa of Avila, who reformed the Carmelite Order, She was quite a personality and wrote several spiritual books,including the Interior Castle. She was a great friend of St John of the Cross, who is one of the Patron Saints of The Little Sisters of Joy. St John wrote several mystical poems of Christ, and I have always longed to read them in the original. So perhaps this is my chance. Watch this space!

Shabbat Shalom
Sister Gila

It is amazing how these opportunities come along, unexpectedly, grab them I say, and good luck too. God bless. B
