| We helped Sister Martina and her fellow sister to finish her daily work, and the Abbess stopped to chat! |
 |
| Then we walked to go see the Abbey Church! |
 |
| Entrance |
 |
| "Peace be with you" above on of the doors |
 |
| Saint WIllibald is everywhere |
 |
| Looking back, the sister's chapel is behind those windows |
 |
| Breathtaking, truly |
 |
| sisters! |
 |
| ceiling |
 |
| There were flowers for a diaconate ordination earlier |
 |
 |
| every side altar was a sight to see |
 |
| Saint Walburga |
 |
| There were hundreds, thousands of paintings made and given by people whose prayers were answered by the saint |
 |
| Above the paintings, the crutches no longer needed |
 |
| a sail from a sailboat above these paintings |
 |
| so many! |
 |
| each with a story |
 |
| So many! |
 |
| so many healings and graces |
 |
| After the abbey church tour and the Vespers chanted on Latin, Sister martina came with us to our guest dining room |
 |
| Number Six took good photos of the two of us |
 |
| The meals were amazing |
 |
| This one had German sausages. The bread and butter and fresh garden salads and soups were heavenly |
 |
| Back to the church paintings: This was painted by one of the sisters. I loved meeting her! Before she was a sister, she was an avid cyclist and an artist, and credits St Walburga for saving her life when she was run over by a acar! |
 |
| So many "Dankes" |
 |
| Love this one of the saint keeping the child from being hurt by the wardrobe! |

I have been enjoying these German pictures very much! Also it is so nice to see your sister being so happy. How is her German?
Her German is perfect while my remains nonexistent... Are you on the Catholic Moms national group on facebook? I posted pictures there and told them how the nuns have an au pair program where girls can spend weeks there in summer helping! Here's a video fo my sister speaking German! http://anabragahenebrysjournal.blogspot.com/2015/02/new-video-from-abbey-with-sister-marta.html
No, I do not have a Facebook account. I think many German convents and monasteries have programs like that. I did enjoy the video. She seems to be a thoughtful and happy person.
