881 - TARDY

AT the monasteRy Liam would often be seen in the cloisters garth along with the other brothers on their way from one activity to another. The year before it would have been a very different story as Liam used his tarot cards to earn a living out of people's weaknesses. But then he went into a quiet country church looking for fortune-telling inspiration but instead found himself rooted to the spot. He can't remember how long his tarry there was as he had a deep spiritual encounter with God. The next day he went to the monastery begging to become a novice and build on his encounter. He started very soon and was a very attentive monk. So keen was he that, on several occasions, the abbot had to comment on how tardy he had been finishing up on the prayer session and moving on to his allotted practical session for the day.
