Sewing and Retreat/Nähen und Exerzitien

Sewing together
Gemeinsames Nähen

Picture book (paid link) for the day (It's St. Patrick's Day soon!)
Das Bilderbuch des Tages paßt zum herannahenden St. Patrickstag.


Peter is doing a Lenten retreat for men in Pennsylvania.  I think it looks like a cozy place.
Peter macht Fasten-Exerzitien für Männer in Pennsylvanien.  Es sieht da sehr gemütlich aus.












It is a mix of prayer, discussions, readings, and silence.  Men of all age groups are attending.  He had Matins at 5:30 a.m.!

Es gibt Zeiten des Schweigens, des Gebetes, Diskussionen und Lektüre.  Männer aller Altersgruppen machen mit.  Heute morgen hatte er um 5.30 Uhr Morgengebet (Matutine)!  


We will have our annual St. Patrick's party at church tomorrow.
Morgen gibt es eine St. Patricksfeier nach der Messe in unserer Kirche.

  1. Yes, almost St. Patrick's Day! I'd like to make an Irish soda bread. Peter's retreat looks so nice! He has the loveliest little room. Matins at 5:30! It's very nice to see the sunrise. Are the girls making pillow cases?

    1. Was there a parade? Did you make your bread? We just read a picture book. There was a special Mass in our church, but Flora had ballet, so we could not go. Yes, Matins was early . . . No, they are working on Flora's skirt.

    2. There was a parade in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. We didn't to go to either, but Greg and I may meet my sister out at the house in a week for the one there on Palm Sunday. That will be a very nice skirt for Flora :)

    3. There is a St. Patrick's Day parade on Palm Sunday? Or is it a Palm Sunday parade? Flora picked out the material. It will be a summer skirt.

    4. No, definitely a St. Patrick's Day Parade. It's often on a different day . . I don't know why!

    1. We had a lovely party with good food. Our pastor is of Irish descent. His mother was born in Ireland :).

    1. Flora näht sich einen zweiten Rock. Ja, es war ganz einsam dort, in den Bergen in Pennsylvanien. Es hat ihm gut gefallen.

    2. Ah, der Stoff sieht gut dafür aus.
      Fein, dass es Peter gefallen hat.

    3. Ja, sie hat sich den Stoff selbst ausgesucht. Es war mal etwas anderes, was Peter da ausprobiert hat.
