Not the Nuns on the Bus
Father Z. posted a story to cleanse your palette after having to read about the "Nuns on the Bus":
Dear Fr. Zuhlsdorf,
Pax Christi!
Thanks for all the hard work and balanced reflection you share on your blog. I don’t know how you do it but I’m glad you do!
Could you do something for us, the nuns OFF the bus?
We have launched a capital campaign to build a much needed new wing onto our monastery. Our monastery looks big but it’s because it is nearly all chapel! Our chapel is nearly the size of our local Catholic Church! We are running out of cell space in the professed dorm and need to take back the cells used for work and sewing rooms. Any “extra” space that would be standard in a monastery was sacrificed in order to make building our monastery possible after the Great Depression and we never really finished it. For years we’ve been making do but as time goes on the needs have changed and we are getting quite cramped!
Read more here. And if you can't contribute, at least buy some soap!
