Letter expressing grief at some news, seemingly relating to Dom David.
TEXT
My dear Father,
It is unnecessary for me
to tell you the grief your letter of
this morning caused. I shall not
mention what I feel about this matter.
As regards Glenstal, you know that already,
but I must mention this fact, and that
is that M.M.M. is losing her most
valuable spiritual father. He spent himself
in our years of spiritual formation.
It is to him we owe the solid
spiritual foundation and spirit of love and
unity that exists within her members.
I prefer not to write any more on this
point, as I have never been able to
understand the situation and the deep
misunderstanding that arose after I
left Glenstal between you and Dom
David. "May God’s adorable will be
done in all things."
It is true, Fr. Moynagh’s father died
last month.
I am glad to hear you have hopes
of help from Maredsous and the
prospect of more novices.
You have a very hard time before
you, and it will mean great cooperation
to carry it all through and hard
work to pay the interest of the loan
each year.
I saw Dom Matthew. He is
working hard for the school, but
I fear this decision about Dom David
will affect him very much.
I fear it is impossible for me to
get down before the exhibition in
Cork. I am very busy indeed, and I
fear it would mean neglect of my
duty towards M.M.M. I would love
it otherwise, unless I get down for a day with
In union of prayer.
