I had a nice surprise at Mass today.
My friend Sr. Angela was there. She is a novice with the Benedictines of St. Emma Monastery, and is home on a short visit after finishing her canonical year. We talked for a little while after Mass, and I tried to get her caught up on what news there's been at the Oratory since I last saw her in December. I'm hoping to see her again before she goes back to her monastery on Sunday. Prayers for her and for St. Emma Monastery would be, of course, most welcome.
