No news from you. I do need your love and support in these first days in
a new place.
I am slowly settling in. This Region of Africa is small.
There are only 6 communities and we are 21 sisters, one novice and one
postulant here belonging to 8 nationalities; There are besides six
sisters belonging to this province but studying in Rome, Spain and
Paris. In each community there are just three or four sisters.
In my
community of Bamako we are five because the Regional superior is here
and I am so new. We need more sisters and I pray that God will send more
vocations or inspire people to offer to come to this Region.
There is not much that I do except help here and there a bit. I observe
a lot and listen and watch. The time table is like in India. We begin the
day with lauds at 6.00 a.m. Mass is at home once a week in the
cathedral the rest of the days at 6.30 a.m. The examen is at 12.15 &
lunch at 12.30 noon. We recite the rosary at 2.45 p.m. & evening
meditation for one hour from 6.00 to 7.00 p.m. followed by vespers &
dinner.
Not everyone can be present for the community acts as each one
is busy in her own work. There is much flexibility. I feel very much
at home.
Please continue to keep me in your prayers.
