Hope you are not affected by the floods, and prayers for those Australians who have been.

R.I.P. Frather Abbot.

+ RIP + FAther Abbot, too, my beloved Izzy

Seriously, thanks for posting this RC.

IMO, this -- the removal of His longtime friends from the scene -- is yet another sign that the hammer is about to fall. Godspeed to all :)

Eliiz, no I'm not directly affected by the floods - thanks for the wishes and prayers.

GV, you're welcome for the post - I hope many good Catholics are able to attend the burial. More importantly I hope that the faithful keep up the prayers for the repose of the abbot's immortal soul, and for the situation at the abbey.
