Discerners
Last month during Holy
Week (April 13 – 19), our community was been blessed
with the visit of two men who came to the monastery to
discern the possibility that God is calling them to our
monastic way of life. The week was an excellent
time for these gentlemen to experience life in our
community as we commemorated and celebrated the Passion
and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. While
the work of encouraging men to discern monastic life is
an ongoing ministry for all of us at the monastery, your
prayerful support for these men and all who are
considering the monastic life in our community is a
vital part of the process. Please pray that the
Holy Spirit will guide them in their discernment and
that they receive the grace necessary to follow the Will
of God in their lives – wherever it by lead them.
