Monastic life, like all religious life,
is above all a historical response
and not a prefabricated model. The
Spirit is constant and changing at once,
like life, like history, and we must let it
change us for this era. We ought not
confuse stability with the rigidity of
cadavers.

Highlights from the Spring/Summer 2005 Bulletin
"Everywhere one looks, it seems, one sees manifestations of rapid change sweeping over the face of the globe. How often do we, exasperatingly, exclaim that the changes are occurring at a faster pace than we can absorb? " (more)
"In 1960, when Pope John XXIII received a group of more than 100 American Jews at the Vatican, he surprised them as he welcome them with open arms" (more)
"By the last week of February in Vermont, the warm sun is moving higher in the sky and has begun to thaw the grip that winter holds upon the land." (more)
"Each year, the hushed stillness of a Vermont winter offers us the opportunity for a different rhythm in our community life and hospitality, a unique invitation to silence and listening." (more)
"God, You have named us from time's dawning,
giving breath to the wonders of Your hands.
You have formed us from clay, from corn, and water,
planting hearts of flesh to hear Your truth." (more)
"There is a way of truth and life, of hope and strength.
Gather all people of ev'ry land. A harvest of compassion is at hand." (more) |
