My dear Friends
The weather can't make up its mind what it wants to do. Now snow flurries, now shine, when oh when will the winter end? (To say nothing of our friends in Canada who have it for much longer than we have.)
Ideally I would like to make three trips this year; April in Provence to see a friend I met in the autumn in Cambridge. He lives in Nimes, suppposedly an old town in Provence and very beautiful so I relish the chance of going there. Nimes is close to Tarascon, which is near St Etienne du Gres where I founded The Little Sisters of Joy in 1998, so it would be a great joy to revisit there.
Then Ireland in the summer or early autumn, to see the Sisters with whom I stayed in the hermitage last September. I long to go back there to see how they are doing, to visit the countryside and my friend Ena and to sample some more of the local guiness.
Then Toronto in September/October? It will have been quite along time since I was there, didn't make it at all last year and I long to visit again. All this depends of course on time and money, but hopefully there are some benefactors around the corner.. Canada in the Fall is stunningly beautiful and I would like to sit in my favourite library in Toronto, the Robarts, where my friend Felictiy works.
Can I ask you to pray that all this comes about? And of course I wish you happy journeys as well.
Shalom from
Sister Gila

You are in my prayers, as always. B
In my part of Canada (downtown Toronto)winter seems to be only now trying to get set in. But very grey skies this week; full of potential, and occasionally actual, snow. Thanks for reference to St Etienne du Gres. I enjoyed looking it up.
