The car journey with Father Alexander..

My priest has been working hard to advise me of the wisest course for me, with my deepening interest in the religious life as a Poor Clare Nun, and yesterday we drove to the priory in Brixen to meet with the Prioress for me to talk with her about the prospects of such a venture.

The round trip was just over one hundred and ten kilometres, about sixty miles English, and it was a very informative venture, we had a great experience. Father Alexander is not pushing for my enclosure, but he knows despite my social life at present I do have a vocation he feels I should investigate for myself, with his inclusion of I would like it.

Saint Elizabeth's Priory, Brixen.

@Speedyman Yes, but I am already a Secular Franciscan
