Monastery Updates 3/24/2024
Dear Friends:
HOLY WEEK IS HERE: This is a pressure time in the church, especially for Pastors. I was one for 20 years. You have all the Rites of receiving people into the Church. The three great days of holiness immediately before Easter. Cleaning the church, decorating for Easter, preparing sermons, confessions, helping other places with confessions, trying to recollect yourself and being in God’s presence. This past Wednesday, we had our prayer morning. The community voted that on all Wednesdays we would spend the first part of the day in prayer. And we have. The front door, open all days from 9 to 5 for confessions and other business, is closed till 1pm. Only on Wednesdays is the first public Mass at 12:10pm.
