14 MAY 2010 ANGERS LAMP, OBERAMMERGAU AND FATIMA
Our Angers Lamp is burning for the German Province this week. Here in Belfast, the Sister leading Evening Prayer clearly adds - 'and Albania' at each gathering. Our thoughts are a little more in Germany than is usual just now. This is due to the fact that Sr. Noeleen got a surprise invitation to join an Ecumenical Celtic Studies group that left for Oberammergau yesterday. Already, Noeleen has called us to say the group has wonderful accommodation and all are looking forward to the highlight of the week - the famous Passion Play. She is still amazed with the generosity of it all being total gift for her. We know the group well as we have attended their Study Group for some years.
We got an email from Limerick on Wednesday suggesting that we watch 'Nationwide' - an Irish television currant affairs programme that evening. We did so and discovered it was a documentary on Fatima. This was based on a group of twenty-two LIMERICK women led by Sr. Anna Landy. In the course of telling the FATIMA story, the presenter showed the Limerick group in their new Irish Hotel - St. Brigids. Anna was interviewed not only about having her group in Fatima but also on our Irish Church problems. She presented really well- looking very much at ease, she spoke very clearly and with great compassion woven throughout. The programme was a very apt lead-in to the Pope's visit yesterday.
Enjoy a good weekend!
