CHRISTMAS EVE 2009 INTERNATIONAL GREETING
JOYFUL, LOVING AND PRAYERFUL GREETINGS FROM A MILD AND SPRINGLIKE KORCE ALBANIA! A most welcome change after the very 'cold snap' of last weekend, thank God.
All is well here as I face into a busy Christmas Eve, due to the fact that 'our Church'is having a traditional procession of the Divine Infant that is scheduled to end in our house. Numbers are still unknown except to the God of Surprises!!!
Anyway we are really looking forward to the whole event and we will gather again at 11.00p.m. for our 'Midnight' Mass!
On Monday we had a visit from three Italian Sisters shepherded by our catechist friend Charlie and we ended that visit with a visit to our Prayer Room and the singing of the 'Adeste' in Latin - our only shared language!!! The constant International flavour deepened as we welcomed Sr. Daniela, German Province Leader on Tuesday. This is a very joyful visit even if too brief. Daniela is amazed we have got so settled in the five weeks here.
Yesterday, we were at Preca College for a very enjoyable Concert - all the Carols in English. In the evening we were returning from Mass when lots of groups of young people with sort of Cribs using icons sang for us. They were from the Greek Orthodox Church and gave a real Christmas flavour to our walk.
United in spirit with all Blog readers. Till again - with thanks for post! Clare
