                                     ___________Psalm 90:10,12 

      

          The span 

        of our life  

       is 70 years, 

       perhaps in 

          strength 

          even 80; 

                 but they 

       pass away 

         quickly &

           are gone. 

            So teach us to number our days 

     that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

* Clare, Abbess of Assisi, 1253 

a follower of Francis.  And 

*  Florence Nightingale, (1820-1910) (two Iralian ladies!) social Reformer and the founder of modern nursing (two Italian ladies!) whose day is 

Ttomorrow. This one is for our freind Sue  Knepper, VA  nurse  extraordinaire and all nurses  that nurses and nuns alike   “might not only heal, but bless, and shine as lanterns of hope in the darkest hours of pain and fear…” Collect

               Hah! If you are an 
              Episcopalian who reads the Daily                                            Office you will know that I have 
              been a week ahead of myself ever 
             since I came home! Stay tuned and  
              I’ll do LAST week NEXT week!
