I received confirmation that over the Christmas holidays I can return for a brief visit to the monastery. My second communion as an Orthodox Christian was there. I have stayed twice before.
I can't tell you how relieved I am that I will, Lord willing, be returning there for a short while.
I often get stuck in my own little world with its worries, joys, confusions and chaos. I hope to get beyond this and be able to rest and receive advice for those things I need to ask.
It is times like these that I feel most hopeful.
May the Lord continue to show His mercy to us.

Please pray also for me Mimi, a sinner.
I will seek to remember you to those at the monastery.
How wonderful! I wish I could have spent more time there when we visited in August. It was a beautiful experience- I Hope it will be for you as well.
Yes, I love being there. Were you there for thier feast day? I am really happy to be going back! It will be my second year there over the Christmas/New Year holidays.
I am really excited for this!
Can't think of a better place to spend the holidays. I love going to monasteries. It's just so refreshing, the feeling of almost palpable Grace, and time flowing so differently.
Have a wonderful time.
Yes, thank you. I am really looking forward to this... I agree about the time being different there... good description!
