Happy Easter!

May the risen Christ be always in our hearts!

Above is the cross suspended over the main altar in the abbey church with the jewels attached surrounded by luminaria – part of the church environment for Easter.

After a bit of “discernment” the SJA MonkBlog is finally up and running. This blog is meant to be primarily a rather casual what’s going on in the abbey kind of blog. We will post up-to-date thoughts, pictures, events, poetry and even music that we think that the viewer might enjoy. We invite your reactions, questions and thoughts and if we think it appropriate we will post them as well. Peace.

Below are pictured the wonderful group of retreatants we hosted for the this years Triduum Retreat.
