How To Make A Novice Happy
25 February 2010
Note to the Heavnly Bridegroom: to make a novice happy deliver a blizzard with lots of wet snow!
Sr. Mary Magdalene would probably also add a BIG pot of hot chocolate but it IS Lent, soo....
A blizzard still means class for the novitiate sisters, one of the few disadvantages of not having to commute to work or school! But that didn't stop Sr. Janlyn and Sr. Mary Magdalene from taking a few moments after class and before work to enjoy the white stuff! All day, the novitiate sisters have been peering out the windows (well, EVERYONE is!) and are all smilies. They can't wait to get the noon meal dishes finished so that they can go sledding! The snow is heavy and wet. PERFECT!
The predictions are for a total of over 1 foot to maybe 2 feet in our area! (Summit is on a high elevation.)

Well, Sisters, I'm happy that you will be getting the blizzard and not us here in D.C., since we just had two blizzards back to back. Had I known that Sister Mary Magdalene loved snow so much, I would have asked our good Lord to send our blizzards to her. Have fun, Sisters.
Love in Christ,
Candice
P.S. Where were their mittens??!!
What wonderful fun . . . if Sr Mary Magdalene likes snow, I hope she saw the wonderful photos from Blackfriars of fr Ursus in the snow ?

and look at January 6th - two days after a post about some Nuns at Summit !
hey, wet snow hurts!
Sr Janlyn is very familiar with snow. Watch out for the snowballs!
If you want to, you can have all the snow we've got this Winter. I measured to 84 centimetres in my garden yesterday... Sweden is again suffering/enjoying (depends on who you talk to) a genuine Nordic Winter with lots and lots and lots of snow, added with temperatures of minus 20 or lower. Interested?
Greetings from sr. Carina of the Mostholy Sacrament, St. Raphael, Sweden.
Forgot to mention that the we measure temperature in Celcius...
As a novice in an apostolic religious community I unite my own love of the snow with your sisters! It certainly is fun! Your blog is a source of comfort and inspiration to me. Please pray for my vocation. God Bless you!
In Mary's Immaculate Heart,
Sister Marie
