"Arise, and go down to the potter's
house, and there I will let you hear my words." So
I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's
hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.
"O house of
Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? says the LORD. Behold, like the clay in the
potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. (Jeremiah 18:2-6)
Has the potter no right over the clay,
to make out of the same lump one vessel for beauty and another for menial use? (Romans
9:21)

For when a potter kneads the soft earth
and laboriously molds each vessel for our service,
he fashions out of the same clay
both the vessels that serve
clean uses
and those for contrary uses, making all in like manner;
but which shall be the use of each of these
the worker in clay decides. (Wisdom 15:7)

TUESDAY 24 - We heard that the firefighters have moved out of
our garage into one within the village limits. They originally took refuge in ours after the fire that destroyed their operation
centre in Rogersville on January 7. But they had to conform to regulations that they should be within the village limits.
WEDNESDAY 25 - Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. We started using a new edition of our choir books for feast days.
Father Maurice has put a lot of time and effort into getting them out.
THURSDAY 26 - Solemnity of our Holy Founders,
Robert, Alberic, and Stephen Harding, who started the monastery of Cîteaux in France in 1098, thereby giving birth to
the Cistercian Order. Our Trappistine sisters honoured us with their presence for lunch. So did Brother Henry, coming in
from his care home in Moncton. He looked a lot better. Our cook, Melva, did us a magnificent meal.
SATURDAY 28 - Feast
of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the greatest theologian of the Latin Church. We woke up to more snow than we have seen so far this
winter, but still nothing compared to other years.
SUNDAY 29 - 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Abbot presided at the
Mass and preached, all in the two languages.
