Day 218: Community of St John the Baptist, Mendham

 "To the solemn graves, near a lonely cemetery, my heart like a muffled drum is beating funeral marches" - Charles Baudelaire


Project 365: #218

This is the most beautiful cemetery for solace and reflection at the convent of St John's. A time to reflect our own mortality, and how short our actual time is here on earth. Reminding us to make the most of each moment, as only we have the choice to do. And here, to reflect on all those who have gone before us, trying their best to do good in the world by dedicating their lives to God and his service, through orphanages and schools, and serving those in need. May we be inspired by their dedication and commitment to have a real and living faith.
