Many of you may wonder why postings have been sparse. We have been busy hosting our region's junior professed, nuns and monks from eight monasteries of our region including our own. They were with us for two weeks of presentations as they continue their preparation for solemn profession.
During the first week, the noted medieval scholar Marsha Dutton spoke about the writings of our Cistercian father Saint Aelred of Rievaulx. In the second week, Father Simeon gave classes on the Christology of the Fathers of the Church.
These young Cistercians have found their hearts' desire in following the Lord Jesus intimately. Their joy and ardor filled us with hope.
