Piamaria Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 When I thought I had a contemplative vocation, they were one of the communities I felt attracted to. What a font of grace they are in a place where so much ignorance has prevailed.

It never hurts to visit Their monastery really is a font of grace. You can't go wrong when you're before Our Lord with Our Lady around the clock :

[/quote] I was so impressed by their family spirit and humility. I'm praying many will come. Being bi-racial myself --amer-asian-- I felt an attraction to their original inspiration.
