In June we were given six heirloom squash plants and they are now beginning to bloom. They were planted in our cloister garden.
We look forward to the “calabacitas” (Spanish for “squash”) that will eventually ripen and be enjoyed at table. We anticipate a small but hearty harvest. Hope springs eternal.
We are finally getting some serious rain and quite delighted. For this we give thanks to the Lord.
Wishing all a blessed week of prayer and work for building up the Body of Christ, of which we are all a part.
With our prayers and grateful for yours,
Abbot Christian and the monks
