There’s talk in the camp…
September 1, 2008
Things were pretty quiet today and in the formal setting it was time to ponder and deepen on what had been for us over the last three days. The powerful impact of the terrain in the Bugey and the isolation of the small villages had a powerful impact on everyone as did the symbolism of the Church at Ars.
There’s talk around that a few are planning a trip to Lourdes. The idea is to travel to Lourdes on the train on Friday night, visit Lourdes on the Saturday and then come back on the train on Saturday night. Accommodation solution provided courtesy of a train seat. The trip is evidently not normally that’s something people are able for fit in. The programme is full, however Saturday is free as Bernd has a wedding to officiate at in the north of Germany.
It’s Christoph and Thilo’s last day with us today. There presence has “lifted our hearts” and it’s been great to have them with us; they’ve added a different and very constructive perspective. There’s been lots of good discussion, banter and lots of laughs. We’re a fairly lively group and before going they made it clear that they enjoyed themselves too.
Christoph has a couple of years study ahead of him and Thilo is heading to novitiate in the Philippines next year, so we wish them all the very best on their respective journeys and assure them of our prayerful support.
