Sr. Fidelma Caffrey - Remembering –
A privilege of old age –
So much to be thankful for.
The hair raising stories in the Novitiate.
The sharing of mundane tasks.
“Back to the world” after Profession
Training which opened the way
To the wonders of human beings –
Close contact with the miracle of life
In birth and death.
The everlasting enigma of human suffering
Made more lucid by time to think now
Of the suffering of Christ
And the glory of the resurrection
As the hymn says
“For faith and hope and love, Lord
We give you thanks.”

Sr. Fidelma Caffery. Missionary Doctor for 30 “odd” years in Nigeria !
