Thank You!
May 12, 2008 · by Christine
About a month ago I posted an Abbey Bookshelf edition on Illuminated Manuscripts. In that post I mentioned how I long for some of the Saint John’s Bible volumes. In today’s mail, I received a package postmarked in Phoenix with editions of the Pentateuch, Psalms
, Prophets
, and Gospels and Acts. How I swooned at the sight of them! Such a gift of abundance and no note, so I do not know where these treasures came from or who to thank. But a huge thank you indeed to the angel who thought so kindly of me to grace me with these gorgeous volumes. You have absolutely made my week! These will get a special place in my sacred space where I can begin using them in prayer.
It is especially puzzling to me because it came to my home address and I can’t think of who I might know in the Phoenix area. I’d love to be able to thank you personally if you care to send me an email. If you wish to stay mysterious, that’s okay too, just know of my gratitude for your gracious generosity.

It is not I, but I am swooning with you, Christine. I have one volume, Psalms.
I am so happy that you received these beautiful books!
