Beautiful Blue Section 2 & A Gentle Book

I am pretty much done with section 2

of the blue checkered blanket! 

I will need to double check to be sure 

they are the same length but I am quite happy with the

progress made! 

As mentioned before, the rows will actually be

inverted from what you see as I do not intend on having

the two dark blue squares next to each other. :)

I did most of the knitting on the trip to and back 

from the monastery where I went with two 

sisters who live in this area.

I also finished and started another wash cloth;

always handy to have on hand!

I have begun re-reading this gentle

book on the Jesus Prayer.

I forgot how beautifully written and with so much love,

this book is.

Here's a quotation I quoted the other day from it:

The process of healing takes a long time.  Even as we see 

reasons for hope, we simultaneously gain better understanding

of how far down the roots of sin can go.  It would be devastating to see the 

whole truth about ourselves all at once.  

Our compassionate Lord brings us along gently, allowing

some blissful ignorance.  Each layer of the onion is shed at the right time;

we encounter the next truth about ourselves when and how we 

can bear it, as our loving Lord knows best.  "I have many 

things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now." (Jn. 16:12)."   

Next week for us who are Orthodox

is Holy Week. 

For all those on the Western Calendar, blessed

rest of Holy Week and Easter to you!
