The 12 Days of Winter - St. Joseph Monastery Style

...On the twelfth day of winter, I looked outside to see: twelve veils a-flapping, eleven sisters skating, ten snowballs flying, nine deer a-prancing, eight shovels shoveling, seven nuns a-skiing, six snowbirds hopping, FIVE SHINING ICICLES, four cups of cocoa, three smiling postulants, two big toboggans, and a bird feeder in a pear tree!

Sr. Mary Veronica thanks the Lord for three Passionist postulants.

 And we thank the Lord for Sister Mary Veronica!
