Dear Pray Tell<\/em> friends, for the following month, Rita Ferrone will serve as moderator of Pray Tell<\/em>, and then I’ll be back near the end of June.<\/p>\n I recall a monk (now gone to his reward) who would post on the abbey bulletin board that he was to be away for a “well-deserved vacation.” Not sure why that anecdote is popping into my head just now…<\/p>\n But I won’t entirely be away – I’ll still chime in as contributor the next few weeks when the occasion presents itself.<\/p>\n Rita is well known in these parts. We give her a warm welcome. Address all correspondence to her.<\/p>\n awr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rita is well known in these parts.
