LATE, LATE CALL, IRISH GOES, VISIT MAYBE!!

11 July 2012 LATE, LATE CALL, IRISH GOES, MAYBE A VISIT!! Almost a week ago, I returned from Thessaloniki, having left Sister Lalini to the airport. So far all is well -I Free Called her last night at a very late hour! She had not opened her computer, and so did not see that I needed copies of her documents urgently. Our local registration system has gone on-line this week, so everything is wrapped in red tape and taking hours to complete. I promised to call again at a more social time of day! Yesterday, Karen, the Irish girl whose husband works on the waterfront in Durres, near Tirana, returned to Cork with her two children. Her plan to visit Korce did not work out - due to the challenge of driving such a long distance. Her husband continues to work in Durres - the first phase of the project is due to finish soon. A Sister from further south - about five hours away from here - has got in touch to say she would love to come to Korce early next month! Sister is a member of a German Congregation. I hope her plan will work out. My thoughts turn to Ireland, especially to Belfast as tomorrow is the "TWALFTH". As its a day when any number of marches - up to eighty I believe - are held. So, I pray to Saint Benedict to preserve the peace everywhere, while giving people a happy day. And a good ending to the week for each one and a happy and blessed weekend!
