I apologize, I know it has been a while since I have visited the Missionary Benedictines. I have been busy with school and with the recent death of my good aunt Lissa (memory eternal!).
The visit to the Monastery was wonderful! I was able to experience the work of the monks even moreso on this second visit. I was also able to learn more about the Monastic prayer schedule and way of life.
Monasticism, as I am finding, is a truly unique calling. It takes much patience and prayer to discern such a thing. But, if called, it is a beautiful life to live. Even if one isn't called, it is still a beautiful thing to spend time at a Monastery.
May God bless you all! Please keep me in your prayers.
