TRIBUTE TO LEN Len, you had a deep love of, passion for, interest in, commitment to, first of all, your own formation, learning and growth; you then fostered this in the young people who were your pupils, and in the members of NCC, the Community you helped bring into being in England through your pioneering trips to France for your own formation and growth. Your dedication and steadfastness were inspiring. You always gave your ALL. Thank you for ALL the work and sacrifice involved in our trips to France. Being part of the NCC Community in England and the wider Community in France and other Countries was a special blessing for me. It brought me in to contact with so many beautiful people. It gave me a particular formation I did not receive anywhere else, and inspired me by the many creative resources employed by the Community that brought us a deep experience of God’s Presence. I can truly say I am a better person for all the experiences in the Community. Thank you Len for being a trailblazer, pioneer, and steadfast work in the Lord’s Vineyard. The Lord is never outdone in generosity so I know you will now be reaping your Heavenly Reward in the Joy of Heaven with the Blessed Trinity, Mary, Our Mother, and all the Angels and Saints, for ALL ETERNITY. Wonderful thought. Eileen (O’Kane) (See also my stories of Len in the ‘Stories’ section)
