Scope and Contents

Mother has told her to thank him for the food he sent her, also for the box of dates. Sister Teresa is Hebdomadary this week, for the first time, and she was delighted at the gift from him. It is a great honor to be Hebdomadary, the novices never hold the post until after their porfession. The Hebdomadary brings whatever alms are sent; she stands between God and the Community. She is the one to begin the Office, to say all the prayers of the Office, and to give the Asperges to the nuns after Compline. The Sisters enjoyed his visit. She thinks it will be grand when they are all united in Heaven. She does not think she is fervent, and wants to make up for her lack of fervor by being humble. She is offering up her Communion tomorrow for Phonie. She sends her love to Jennie. :: I-2-f A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
