This past week, October 1-7, 2017, our community has been on retreat with Fr. Caedman Holmes, from the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. He has given us talks on the Little Way of St. Therese of Lisieux. From her words, “I feel that my mission is only beginning; my mission to make the good God loved as I love Him, to give my little way to souls.” God bless you! SK
