Forgive me; I should not have allowed my irritation with others in Our Lord's service to spill over into our discussion. I beg you, forget my indiscretion.

I have not noticed a lack of loyalty among our postulants, either since they have been chosen or before. Some of them are more enthused about the idea of a place at Our Lord's side than others, but less out of disloyalty than the fact several of them did not believe that option available to them, and so are finding it more difficult to re-envision their futures should they succeed. I will confess some of them are not the candidates I would have chosen, and some of the ones I've had my eye upon are not on the list, but we do all see potential differently, don't we?

I am quite curious about what tasks Our Lord has in mind for them, and what He will be looking for throughout. The wide range of skills and interests among our brotherhood has always been a source of strength. Have you heard any speculation?
