The last couple of months have been very quiet! One week we were very busy with many guests, visitors, and finding it hard to keep up the supplies of crafts in our shop; the next week the whole country was locked down and the silence profound out here in country! As we did not want to put anyone at risk we had enough supplies to keep us going throughout the whole time, so did not see anyone for 4 weeks. Our monastic routine always keeps us well occupied, and we were able to do more night and day adorations for the needs of all the peoples suffering from the effects of Covid19. There were more than enough garden jobs to complete. For once I was able to get the monastery gardens in good shape, as usually most of my time goes to the extensive guesthouse areas. We were blessed with daily Mass with our chaplain. Now we are happy to be able to once again open the Church to the public for Holy Mass, as well as the guesthouse. May God bring abundant good out of the difficult times all have endured.
