Do you think Transfig are telling us porky pies and are not live at all? It all sounds very Advent like to me

But to Ian Climacus goes:



for being the first to spot the monks back online.

(I'd have given you a third except you did not get to see Jesus first, so there).

Now maybe Ancient Mariner should roll in here to take pledges as to just when Jesus will return (but only on webcam - the other would be kinda freaky!) Did he not say (he did say, I tell you, he did): "A little while and ye shall see me and again a little while and ye shall see me not".

But just like our Blessed Lady herself in the humble home of Nazareth the monks are getting his house just so before they bring him back. Ah, are they not a true community of Marthas for they tell us:

• I think I can make out a couple of pews in the front. (That'll be the the three horizontal brown lines at the bottom of the image.)
• The vertical bars, as mentioned by some people, seem to be there indeed. (See pic top left or here, bottom right )
• According to this plan on the main page, the altar its set back somewhat behind this silly (sorry...) screen.

Can anyone guess the distance between the screen and the altar? I looks like a whole lot on the webcam, but then on the plan I really am not sure.

The also plan says there must be a door in the centre, which would be just where the altar is, but I don't think there is one - or perhaps left of the altar?

And when you watch the video tour, it seems that they've indeed changed the plans, and the door to the monks' part of the monastery is in fact on the left. Hm. Confusing.

Any help is appreciated.

The altar's looking much better lit now - and the familiar Sacred Heart picture is hanging above it! Is Jesus going to move in soon, I wonder?

Oh, I despair, I really do. It's the middle of the afternoon in Florida and the chapel is STILL shrouded in Stygian darkness.

I despair, too. Here I've been off for a week being Frantically Busy, and they STILL don't have the confounded thing set up properly!

It's early October. The sked said early August. Can we expect it before early 2006? Get WITH it, gentlemen!
