Fall Book Study & Discussion
August 26, 2019 Dear Sisters,St. Benedict taught that Christ is as near as our neighbor. If we can not love the Christ we can see next to us, how can we love the Christ we can not see? Living in Community thus becomes “a school for the Lord’s service” (Prologue 45). Part of building that community of love is the common worship and prayer—the Opus Dei.As we approach our tenth year as a community, I invite you to join us in a common daily devotional reading of The Rule of Benedict. Benedict recommended that each new monk read The...

Read MoreChristmas Message to The Episcopal Community 2018
Beloved in Christ, I send each of you in the Episcopal Community greetings and my prayers for a blessed Christmas Season.

As disciples of Jesus we take time during this Holy Season to ensure that the Inn is also in our hearts as we make room for Jesus and witness to the Gospel in His name. It is for all Christians a season of Hope and Joy that the Christ Child may fill...

Advent is a time of getting ready for the birth of Christ Jesus our Lord. For many of us, it is the time of card and letter writing to friends far and near.

Read MoreAlleluia! Christ is Risen! The Lord is Risen indeed! Alleluia!
I have been on my Lenten journey toward the Easter Event, and this year I have found it harder not to take short cuts or “get on with it.” Well the journey is almost over and finished or not, Easter will arrive. It is all but time to proclaim “Christ is risen!” “The Lord is risen indeed!” Words that are the central profession of our faith. We still have the time of the three days before Easter Day and without them Easter can be empty. I will get the Easter candy and eggs for my grandchildren and the lamb...
