Thirteen years ago, during the time of our "troubles" related to our first superior, Sr. Brigid and I created an e-booklet of prayers and readings called "Prayers for this time of Hope." Actually, the Holy Spirit guided us, we just transcribed it. As a community, we have struggled with COVID, many of us have lost friends and family members, and many of our church communities have struggled as well. We have had to adapt to a new reality on how God is calling us as Benedictines in this changing world.
We are a strong, God centered community that has reached out to support each member in both their work to be with Christ and during their time of trial and tribulation. So, I felt it was appropriate to send this out again.
I hope you find this little booklet helpful as we continue to live into the example of Christ and St. Benedict.
