Day two at St. Gregory's Abbey begins.  We did miss Matins and Lauds, arrived at the refectory for breakfast at 7ish, and are now waiting to the Eucharist at 8:15. I read after Pittance and then attended Sext.  I eagerly anticipate Lunch.  We had a very lively discussion with the Prior at Pittance and, I would be remiss if I didn't mention, a very enjoyable conversation yesterday at Tea with Br. Abraham. I made it to None after lunch.  Tea was another good interaction with the monks, the last sadly.   We attended Vespers and ate supper, packed up and headded home. I didn't get either bookk finished.  I did enjoy what I read though.  It was enlightening and meaningful.   I was reassured and comforted by the idea expressed by the author of Letters From the Desert that the Church does not rest on my shoulders,  and how freeing that is.  I also was inspired and comforted by St. Augustine's struggles to the faiyh and how far off the path he was. It's 1:30AM now and I'm home.  I didn't want to leave. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
