My friend Sr. Wendy Beckett died 4 years ago today, 12/26/2018. In her last letter she wrote: "I know you will be sad, but I hope also very happy for me that I am close to death...When the day comes I want you to turn to God with great thankfulness for all He has given me...

"This is the time of the deepest joy..." She added a P.S. "How embarrassing it will be and depressing if the Lord works a miracle, and I don't die after all!" Returning to her monastery this month I was happy to pray at her grave.

That pretty letter works for me too. I am remembering my friend who would have his birthday today and he also died 4 years ago. What a coincidence

Robert, your Dearest Sister Wendy book is amazing. Loved it. What a saint. Thank you for sharing her example and witness to us.

Love to see a movement start wherein artists deem Sister Wendy Beckett their patron and prayers are written for her intercession. I don’t know how sainthood comes to be, but I think it’s worth a try.
