Old stones stand strong

.

In the previous post we saw the dazzling sunlight inside the upstairs chapel here at the monastic Community of Grandchamp.
But here at the entrance to l'Arche, on the ground floor,


where the nuns hang their warm capes before going upstairs to pray,


you can still see the original stones of the wall, from back sometime in the 1700s!




Just inside the door is a little corner with little boxes for writing your prayer requests (intentions), so that the sisters will pray for the person or situation you mention in one of the four daily offices.
