Enjoyed reading a bit of your site, which I found whilst searching for the verse in Sirach about “wearing out the doorstep” of the sage.

Enjoyed the bio, too. Some common experiences involving LWOP (large women of the parish). In my case they drove me completely out of ministry. The mention of Merton prompted me to recommend his talks to novices, which (as far as I know) have never been written down. Credence Cassettes sells them online, and I have enjoyed most far more than the books. Not very expensive.
