This year we have three women preparing forSacraments at the Easter Vigil. On Friday evening they received the Creed... today the second scrutiny. Each week the anticipation mounts for the annual Baptisms at the River!
Nothing at St Mary's is easy and it's never dull. At 10:50am (Mass is at 11am) a church sister comes running into the friary... Br Michael, Br Michael... Miss Mimes is going... come!
Miss Mimes frequently passes out... but today she was pulseless and not breathing... Fr Mike anointed her while I got an airway... and started a sternal rub... within 30 seconds she took a gasp and half the church sisters gathered 'round ran out of the church... she's dead! she's dead! If we were in the states we'd work her up for a syncopal episode and she'd probably get a pacemaker... here we give her some juice, and wait for the next episode.
PEACE!
