We have a convent in NorthDevon, the order is so named Mary Star of the Sea. Had occasion to meet them recently, what a beautiful order this is, such lovely godly women. So focused on prayer and on our Lady.

Thank you. I’m truly feeling tossed & thrown but am hanging on to the promises of Christ. Mary mother of us all pray for us.

These beautiful words of St Bernard of Clairvaux are both timeless and timely in this month of storms and tempests of every kind around the world and in our hearts. They remind me of the beautiful poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins, read here by Jonathan Roumie https://youtu.be/t_sSc1VQeYk?si=4RDsWBj6jAFDSOqU
