Our Lady's Mirror 1934

The relics of the Holy Cross have duly arrived are are enshrined in a cross of silver decorated with jewels. On the day of its reception an altar was erected at the foot of the great cross on Calvary in the grounds, and there the relic was "watched" until the procession came from the Shrine to escort it to the Sanctuary. The relic was then carried amid lights and with appropriate singing to the Holy House.

The rails round the steps leading to the Well are now in place; at first no one liked them, but we are growing to appreciate the arrangement, and they are most suitable for the building.

In the Holy House on the feast of Corpus Christi, after the rosary, the religious habit was given to Sister Mary Phyllida. She is testing her vocation to the life of a Recluse, having been here on probation for seven months. After the clothing, Sister was led in procession to her cell which has been built in the grounds of the Hospice and with its little garden is enclosed by a fence of wattle hurdles. This was blessed, and after some special prayers and a final blessing, she was left to her seclusion. Visitors and others meeting a grey-habited religious with black veil in and around the precincts of the Sanctuary, are asked to respect her rule of silence and on no pretext to speak to her.
