Edith garden

Dear William,
Lovely.
Amazing is the 'shrine' of Edith, such embrace of flowers, the rewards of loving care.
On the other hand, Saturday the eve of Corpus Christi, it was too late for shopping. 
I tried for the usual sides of gorse on the roads. Nothing in site until beyond the Gravel-pit on the banks. It looks as if the road sides had been sprayed earlier near the monastery.
At last, back to the Guest House, RHODODENDRONS could be found, the lilac colour in abundance. But next near the avenue Archway, I was able to pirate the glorious crimson rhododendrons.

Under the altar, see the display of your 7 red roses still alive blending with the lilacs.

Leonardo. Last Supper, details
Your Bookcase terra cotta Last Supper is all part of 'the heaven of heavens' melding into the total scenario of Chrysostom and Leonardo, having me in might turmoils between the theologian and the artist.

 Sacristy Tapestry of Last Supper
My tapestry of Last Supper and your little terra cotta cannot get to the details of the Judas and Christ's nearest hands. Detail of hand of Judas reaching to towards Christ's right side.   


Leonardo must have learned from the writing of St. John Chrysostom, and they both had the fertile imagination creativeness.

Happily we have the title of LEONARDO  alone. are at least four of the quality art books in our shelves. 

I had better pause for later browsing.

Thank you and Edith.
In Dno.

Dear Father Donald,
 
Your Corpus Christi Adoration photograph I will treasure - thank you! I could be standing there....
 
Meanwhile, I attach photos of the little sanctuary in my room. When -your- sanctuary candle is not lighted, the little red gemstone glows in the little shrine on the top shelf of my bookcase.
 
And in our little back garden, there is a photo of the Edith's sanctuary!
 
It is such a delight for me to share in your JOY that comes from the 'heaven of heavens'.
 
... in Our Lord,
William
