We shall pray for him.
stlmom Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 I just received a Christmas letter from Br. Bruno in response to my Christmas Card. He asks me to pass on his hello, that he is still at the Monastery and all is going well. He reports he has passed his 2 month scrutiny with the Abbot and the council. He administers the monastery website, but cannot post due to being in the novitiate. He is quite busy being responsible for the monastery guests' breakfasts, baking bread, assisting with the gift shop, and working on writing out the Rule of St. Benedict in Latin and English (apparently one of the expected projects to be finished by the time one makes simple vows there)! Something about "ora et labora"-- lots of labora-- He continues to hike in the surrounding terrain when possible for fun.
Starets Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 Breaking radio silence to announce that I will be making my First Profession on Saturday October 3. I don't expect anyone will be able to make it, but I thought I would announce it nonetheless.

Starets Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 Thank you for all the well wishing. I have noticed that monastic time moves very slowly. It seem like I have been here for a few years now and not a little under a year and a half.

It would only take me 8 hours to get there! LOL Do you have a local Holiday Inn? Congratulations on your profession. If I'm not able to make it, I'll of course keep you in prayer on this solemn and joyful occasion.

Santa Fe is closer though it is still a 2 hour drive.Fly to Albuquerque, take a shuttle service (or the Railrunner communter train) to Santa Fe and rent a 4x4 to take you the rest of the way. Or stay at the Hotel Chama (our guest house) aznd we'll even feed you as part of the price Anyway its Dessert Day and I need to go for a prayerful anbd meditative hike
HisChild Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I will see if I'm able to get there. If I come I would have to drive. And I have a small, very well trained dog, but I would have to find a hotel where I could bring her as there's no one here to care for her when I leave. Regardless, I will offer up my Mass that day for you. God bless you.
Starets Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 Well, I am now Simply Professed as of Saturday. Not only that, today is my Name Day. HisChild did indeed make it. It turned out to be a bit longer of a drive than she though. It was great to meet her. I gave her a tour of the property. I think its safe to say that she found it spiritually refreshing. Oh, and I had a letter from Sr. Mary Adelina of the Sacred Heart, whom you knew of as Stacey on Phatmass. She is at Tyburn now, and was able to enter the Noviciate six weeks after her arrival. Just thought I would pop my head in.
stlmom Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Happy news always has a place here--you may pop in any time, Brother!
