We visited Sr. Mary David who is Benedictine and she gave us a summary of life in the Convent. They are very good at calligraphy, baking, they have apple pears and berries, they sing beautifully and especially nice is they make the altar bread. It is made with whole wheat. It does taste heavenly. We had the Eucharist here at the monastery which was first the altar bread of the sisters. The nuns do sound like angels! It was amazing going to Vespers at the Convent there! Everything was in Latin and was chanted so beautifully. It was lovely. Here on the Isle of Wight, it was Epiphany so the Mass and the antiphons for the prayers were for Epiphany! Today I learned for Fr. Brian that standing is a sign of the Resurrection. That’s why in the traditional High Mass you stand more than in the Low Mass!! Because the High Masses are for Sundays mainly (and other solemnities which are treated like Sundays) and Sunday is the day of the Resurrection! Ah ha!! I get it. Check out their website. If you want caligraphy or to have wonderful alter bread contact the sisters! http://www.stceciliasabbey.org.uk/introduction/introduction.html
