Carmelites
We went to visit the religious today after mass. It was like so cool. We took the NEL and bus all the way to St. Theresa's church, which was near Harbourfront, to visit the Carmelite sisters. It was a long journey and if you leave it to me, I'll take a cab there and back.
Some of them went to see the Franciscan Friars and Jesuits, but as I said, I went to visit the Carmelites. Well, at least one Carmelite sister. Oh, and we went to the church instead of the monastery, because some of the sisters are living in the church temporarily. Apparently the Carmelite monastery got infested with termites or something and droved all the nuns out.
Beautiful church, right? Great place to get married and be buried. Haha. That's what I told my friend.
So anyway, Sister Angeline was telling us all about her daily routine. They wake up at like 5.30am or something and pray. They go for morning mass and pray some more or something. Oh, I thought it's funny that they can't sit down for breakfast. They got to eat standing up. Anyway, I think the rest of their day consists of prayers, prayers and more prayers. Then meditation and more mediation. Then your own free time. Then more prayers.
I thought Sister gave a pretty insightful view of sisterhood which I felt was pretty interesting. Wonder if they watch tv too.
Anyway, Sister wanted us to pray for her because she's leaving for Myanmar on a mission trip or something. "Just one hail mary a day", was what she said.
So here goes, Sister.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Oh yeah. The prayer is for my grandparents also. Especially my grandma who fell and hit her head yesterday.
I just found out about it today when my aunt messaged me earlier on. So I went to visit my grandparents after dinner. Apparently my grandma fell and hit her head and it started bleeding. She got like 3 to 4 stitches on the back of her head. My grandfather also injured his arm or something while trying to save her from falling, apparently.
Thank God both of them are okay. My grandma was super chirpy while I was there. Thats good.
Let's all thank God and glorify the trinity.
Glory be to the Father,
to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
its now and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
