Fifteen of the Capitulants went to visit Ypres last Sunday. it was the 100th anniversary of France's entry into the War. We had the opportunity to attend the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate which is very moving. The Flanders Field museum showed the history of the war and contained very moving images and memoirs of the war, the senselessness, the human cost and the bravery of those who sacrificed everything for their beliefs. Have a look at some of the images on Facebook or at the Gallery.
“The radical gift of oneself to God, loved and served for Himself alone, listening to His Word, and a humble attentiveness to His presence in all human beings and in events, are the characteristics of this life; its sole aim is the search for God, lived out in Community.”
