MORE SNOW....

Only a few days after the initial hit of snow, last Friday, our Monastery in Philadelphia was beaten down with more snow and there is more to come this afternoon.  Despite the snow and cold, our friars got out to clear the sidewalks and drive way.  We had a bit of fun too.... Joy amidst work is a sign of the Divine indwelling.... Hats off to our Postulant over at Mercedarian Formation for some pictures....

Br. David tried to call a truce with the postulant.... he realizes his own defeat.... HAHA

Br. Daniel is a pro when it comes to shoveling and tossing snow.... Br. David, from the South, is still a novice in snow removal.... A moment of Fraternity!!!

Not bad, brothers!!

This is still Br. David when he was confident in is snowball fighting skills... refer to the first picture.  He now knows the virtue of humility.  The joy and grace of religious life is to come to know your limitations.  Praise God, Br. David has come to know he is not a snowball fighter.... HAHAHA.... 

** Let us remember in prayer the homeless and all who may not have heat in these days of cold weather and snow.  Our Lady of Mercy and St. Peter Nolasco, our Father and Founder, pray for us!!!  J+M+J+PN
