France and French

I am going to France in October to see my aunt who is a Petite Soeur des Pauvres, or Little Sister of the Poor. She is celebrating her golden jubilie as a sister. She has been a nun away from her home country for longer than I have been alive. Hard to contemplate.

To me, her life vividly illustrates Jesus' words in the Gospel of Saint Matthew.

Matthew 19:29

And every one that hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.

She certainly has done that.

In my frantic search for anything to help me brush up on my high school French, I have discovered a Catholic Blog written in French! It's called Approchons-nous de la Table... which means We Approach The Table.

A site like AltaVista's Babel Fish can help you translate anything you can't read in French. Very helpful in translating one's English replies into French, too!
