Luigi Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Tuesday, November 22, the monks of Conception Abbey will elect a new abbot. They ask for your prayers: "Abbot Gregory’s election to the position of Abbot Primate in Rome was a gift to the Benedictine world but left us without an abbot. The process of electing an abbot is a serious and yet wonderful experience of trusting that the Spirit will guide us through the process. It couldn’t be more different from what we have experienced in our national presidential election. There are no debates, campaigning, or lobbying. In fact, it’s pretty tame; CNN needs not send reporters with microphones in hand.

Luigi Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 The Conception Benedictine monks produce occasional videos called Ask A Monk. This one's call Ask The Abbot because it features the recently elected and above-mentioned Benedict Neenan. It's like twenty quick questions. https://www.facebook.com/conceptionabbey/videos/10154539816136025/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
