"A VERY LITTLE WORD..."
...as we celebrate Epiphany today, the Baptism of the Lord tomorrow, and very quickly close Christmastide. This is a reproduction of a Christmas card I designed several years ago for our monastery, using one of my favorite quotes from Jordan's letters to Diana.

Excellent! I love it. You could make cards, Sister. We are in need of good Catholic greeting cards!

I first heard of ‘To Heaven with Diana’ when I listened to a audio retreat given to the ‘Daughters of St Paul’ by Fr Benedict Groeschel C.F.R.
Fr. Groeschel so beautifully described the work of Fr Gerald Vann O.P. and this special love shared between Bl. Jordan of Saxony and Bl. Diana, so much so that I was spellbound. I knew I had to go out and find the book or I would not sleep again. Hence after researching on the net I found out that this book has been out of print for sometime, however M Kelly Library of St Michael’s College in Toronto had two copies on hand. Since then I have been borrowing and renewing over and over again from the library. I also have rummaged through every book sale there has been also enlisted several of my friends to be on the look out.
It has nonetheless been a long search,to find my own copy. Finally I learned of Sr. Judith Miryam, O.P. brilliant initiative to have a limited number of copies reprinted Wow! It hit me that, here lies my chance. I was so excited I immediately ordered two copies. Today I am so thrilled that my copies are ready it is just a matter of time until I have them in my eager, and very happy- to- be hands.
Letter # 7 "Thus briefly have I commended to you poverty, love and humbleness of heart, that by means of these you may come to true riches and joys and honours, through the help of him who is a strong helper, our Lord Jesus Christ who is blessed forever and ever.'
Letter # 33 "; I should gather thanks always to my God for you, for the grace of God that is given to you in Christ Jesus ( I Cor. i, 4), God's Son and your bridegroom, to whom is honour and glory, power and empire for ever and ever, Amen (Apo. vii, 12)"
