Exploring
Sonship From August
25th through the 29th, our Priory held our
annual retreat at St. Benedict Monastery here in
Oxford. Two of our confreres from Holy
Face Monastery (Clifton, New Jersey), Br. Antony
Maldo
nado and
Fr. Sylvester Jayakody were able to attend the
event. We were blessed to have Fr. Timothy
Combs, O.P. as
our Director this year. Father is a
Dominican priest who lives in the Dominican
Priory in Minneapolis,
Minnesota and ministers at St. Thomas University
just a couple miles away from his home.
Father presented the monks enlightening
reflections on the theme of Divine Sonship
through the call to religious life. Our
community was very impressed and enlightened by
Fr. Timothy’s presentations as well as his
engagement with us on a personal level as he met
with some of us individually. We are
grateful for Father’s well-informed and concise
insights about how the life of Christ is
re-lived and embodied in our world today through
our vocation. It was a very inspiring
experience!
