New Postulant!

On the feast of Corpus Christi, we welcomed Thao into the monastic community as a postulant.

Mother Sofia gave her these words of encouragement:
"Thao, as you begin your postulancy today, you embark upon a monastic life in which simple daily acts bring together body and spirit in service to God and those with whom you live.  Your days will be filled with common and private prayer, manual labor and sacred reading, in a community life that engages the whole person.  We believe that love embodied in this way flows out to nourish all people.  I pray you will find in this life a way to fulfillment in the total gift of yourself for the life of the world.  May each of us be strengthened in our resolve by the gift of the Lord’s body."

Please join us in praying for Thao and all our sisters in formation, that they may be guided aright by the Holy Spirit.
