We have a beautiful custom in Carmel of greeting our feast day Sister with song, offering flowers. In this case, a flower was offered on behalf of all. Our little Sister made a beeline over without using her cane just to show that she could. She’s rightly named after St. Elijah!

This is what happens when there is leftover energy after working on Christmas cards. It’s a “silent video” because we had sisters praying inside the Chapel. For the record...the group that lost was actually practicing Christian charity in letting the other group win. :)
