Among the most endearing of the many new technologies to me are What’s App groups. A What’s App group has just been started for the members of the young Romsey Secular group and it has unleashed a beautiful wave of contributions focussing on such topics as the rosary and pilgrimages and devotions. I know from experience that these innovative developments wax and wane, but that doesn’t matter. The members of the group are talking to each other and sharing with much affection. I joined Carmel looking for a way to grow closer to God in company with others; I am very happy with the spiritual journey I have been on in Carmel, but the sense of union with others on the way is a very big plus. Using new technologies, we very quickly take them for granted, but I sometimes find myself filled with astonishment when I ponder the dramatic transformation wrought by electronics just over the past thirty years. Such a tool for good - even while we all know the potential for evil.
