The Biscotti

I had made some biscotti to take to the Christian in the World Program at the Mt Angel Library lecture series. We usually have a break in the middle and have refreshments, cookies, fruit etc.
So on my way to the Abbey I am thinking who will let me in to the Library which is usually closed at 7am when I get there. I asked the Lord: "Please send me someone to let me in the Library." So I get there shortly before 7am and I go into the church and see Fr Odo. I ask him if he has a key to the Library and he does but he has a group of perspective seminarian-monks he had to lead to breakfast. So there was Br Cyril who also has a key to the library and he led me to the library so he could let me in. After we get out of the Library, Br Cyril checks all the doors to make sure they are all locked. The last one on the left was open. The Lord had opened it for me. If I had gone straight to the Library I would have gotten in without bothering anybody. I did not want to test the Lord. But he surprised me anyway in his generosity.
