October 2012
News:
On October 5th, the annual workshop, Emmaus Gathering dealt
with the theme: Stories of Resurrection: Humanity Coming Alive. Presentations
and discussions helped the participants in their search for a deeper involvment
as Christians. At the same time, our fields were used by 70 Border
Collies that competed during a dog trial. Though our sheep were moved
ably through the fields by those clever dogs, our wild sheep proved quite
a challenge. Fr. Philip, a Cistercian monk from Vietnam was
recalled by his abbot to take charge of a new foundation. On the
same day, Oct. 12th, Fr. Martin returned to the monastery after
13 months in the hospital. After a fall from bed, he returned
to the hospital five days later. He has a good attitude in spite
of his failing health. On Oct. 15th, three monks: Prior Joseph
Gabriel, Br. Francis and Br. Pierre joined three monks from Christ
in the Desert: Abbot Philip, Fr. Christian and Br. Caedmon to publicise
a new CD of Gregorian Chant on the TODAY Show. You can see the 4
minutes video.
Br. Gabriel was away for three weeks to attend
a wedding and visit relatives and friends and returnedd on time for his
80th bithday. "Ad multos annos!"
