Today, Easter, the Carmelite Sisters began chanting matins at 4:30 A. M., and after chanting lauds, they began a procession at dawn. The procession went from the choir to several appointed stations where Easter hymns were sung, and ended with the "Te Deum" in the choir. The Carmelites are most zealous in this devotion. Monday, April 14—she received her father's letter and sends the thanks of the superior for the box of oranges McMaster sent, and also for the palms. The Community is most grateful to him and show it in their prayers. Communion being offered during Easter week for all their benefactors, living and dead. During Holy Week, the Sisters venerated the exposed Blessed Sacrament on Monday, and observed strict silence after 4:30 P.M. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. After chanting tenebrae, each nun retired to her cell where the collation was made. Returning to the choir, they made their examen and retired after the Asperges. The Hours, Vespers, and Compline are recited in an undertone and no grace is said before or after meals. Individual hours were assigned for adoration before the Repository Altar except at 2 P. M., when Mandatum took place in the chapter house. The Prioress, Sister Louise of St. John the Evangelist, washed their feet after the Gospel of the day was chanted. The adoration of the Cross on Good Friday took place in the choir, with each nun in her stockinged feet. No meals were served but each nun had a small loaf of bread similar to the one which the Mother sent to McMaster. 2P.M. to 3P.M. Friday is spent in adorations, and when 3 O'clock arrives, the Sisters prostrate with arms extended in the form of a Cross, and while prostrated, make their petitions. She hopes her father was not lonely over Easter. Mother Beatrix gave her, "The Glories of Mary" and she intends to read the sermon on Her Sorrows. Occasionally she brings "The Divine Life of the Blessed Virgin" from the novice-ship to her cell where she reads. She is sending this letter by means of Jennie. Rev. Mother Louise and Mother Beatrix send their regards. P.S. The Library there does not have the "Preparation for Death" by St. Alphonsus, as translated by Fr. Coffin. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 7pp. 12mo.
