3rd Day NY


---------------------------------
Ok, so after Fri. night's gig at Our Lady of Lourdes we (my Mom and I - did I mention she flew up from FLA to meet me for this week?) left for a 2 1/2 hour drive up to St. Mary's parish in Port Jervis, NY a lovely small town on the border of NJ and PA. We passed rolling hills, even mountains, and farms (YES! just an hour and a half out of NYC, if you can believe it.) I rehearsed with the pianist to sing "Anima Christi" as a communion meditation for the 4:00p Mass and after Mass went out to dinner. Here are the Deleware river close by and some famous windy road (I forget what it's called - Ok, it's called "Hawk's Nest".) After Mass it was out to dinner (my favorite part.) We stayed at the old convent which is right next to the church. They had a GORGEOUS perpetual adoration chapel in the building. I spent some WONDERFUL time there - but I don't think I will get into that. I'll save that for my spiritual director.
