Our role....

Sister Joan recently talked to us about the role of the abbot or prioress, saying...  

The role of the abbot or prioress is to direct their energies to bringing the community to the white heat of the spiritual life....

I invite you to consider if this might be our role in our community--not so much by preaching, but by the way we live out our lives in our community.  We are called to care for each other.  You are teaching me this every day.  And, we are called above all else, to persist; to never lose hope!

Benedict knows there is a spark of the divine in all of us.  We are called to see it in each other and to help it grow.
