We have been enjoying some beautiful sunsets these days, reminiscent of William Turner skyscapes. In this case, it’s the Master Artist providing the celestial paint.
Advent has begun and the present shortening of days reminds us of the soon-to-occur lengthening of days later this month, fitting as we celebrate the coming of the “Unconquered Sun,” Christ the Lord.
Noteworthy saints being commemorated the first two weeks of December include: Saint Francis Xavier, Saint John of Damascus, Saint Juan Diego, Our Lady of Loreto, Pope Saint Damasus, Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Lucy. Saints of God, intercede for us all as we prepare for Christmas!
With assurance of our prayers in this Advent Season. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you,
Abbot Christian and the monks
