I had thought a lot and prayed before the decision to join the Oblate Year. Even thus, felt the weight of anxiety from human to something unknown. But in depth, in silence, I knew my path. Something simply must be done.

Upon arrival London showed me her business card: an end Sunday cloudy, cold and moist. The reception at the airport, however, was affectionate, part of Henriette, Mine and lovely Marianne. From the Tube’s windows, I could see the beauty of a historic city, classical, that both had seen on television, movies, internet.

17, Pembroke Gardens, Kensington. My home from now on. With a routine three meditations daily, Gospel readings and Office. One day to day spiritual balance.

Sonn I met Maxi, the Australian, who also is in the oblate program. A person charismatic, captivating. I have to confess that little understood in the early days, for my basic English. And by his way incredibly fast to speak.

Every street, every house, park, each new routine … even walk the streets, even going to the supermarket or take the Tube. Attempts (not always successful) to express myself in English, say what I think, I fell. It still presents challenges, tasks to adapt myself.

The main factor in my favor is the Community. People struggle to integrate myself, each one your way. Every day I feel more part, despite being aware of how much I have to grow. Father Laurence, with his kindly presence, guiding me forward security. Henriette has also been shown to be a kind companion in these beginning, and with a heart patient, generous.

There are many here and in Brazil to help me on the journey newly initiated. In all I see the face of Christ. I know He lives in the center of each of these people. He is among each of us. And also in me. This certainly confirmed every moment of silence in meditation gives me peace and strength to face the uncertainties and fears which are configured me. I do not know exactly how to do the things that need to be made, which need to be learned, what I need help here. No matter how I will. It’s not about ability or merit.

For when I am weak, then I am strong (II Cor, 12:10)

All this love, that comes through the Community of Christ, points to a promising year in hope. Since the early days of sunshine, flowers and green lawns that link the spring in London.
