Although we occasionally make and enjoy pumpkin bread here, we don’t sell it. However, we do know a source of excellent pumpkin bread for sale, coming straight from Hollywood, California! See today’s photo and the contact information below, and give Carlos a call or go online to place your order.
The product freezes well, remains moist when thawed, so order more than one at a time. Satisfaction guaranteed, at least that is the endorsement of us monks at Christ in the Desert.
If you don’t want to indulge during Lent, then stockpile the bread until Paschaltide, beginning with Easter Sunday on April 20th this year.
After some intermittent rain and snow in the Chama Canyon, which was very welcome, we are back to blue skies and rising temperatures. Forest Service Road 151, leading to the Monastery, is dry and currently be graded to make it a smoother track than usual.
We are now in the first full week of Lent and our lectio divina this season is focused on the Scripture readings for Mass each day. We also are using the daily meditations on the Mass readings by Poor Clare Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C. in her book, “A Time of Renewal,” published by Ignatius Press and available from Amazon. We highly recommend the book, as well as the pumpkin bread mentioned above!
For pumpkin bread, phone in an order at: 323-466-4098. Website: www.monasterygoodies.com
Be assured of prayers and thank you for yours.
