We are now half way through Lent and continue to experience the progressive arrival of Spring in our Chama Canyon wilderness. The Eastern Christian tradition refers to this annual preparation for Holy Week and Easter as the “Lenten Spring.” Keep in mind the word “Lent” is related to the word “lengthen” and of course “Spring” is clearly the season of the appearance of new life in nature, at least in the Northern Hemisphere.
May this time of increased prayer, fasting and doing good to others encourage us all along the path of drawing closer to the source of our life and happiness, God alone.
With assurance of our prayers and please keep us in yours. Thank you.
Abbot Christian and the monks
