Benedict Maria Makes Solemn Profession
An overflow crowd was on hand to witness the Solemn Profession of Br. Benedict Maria, O.S.B., on Monday, November 1, the Solemnity of All Saints. Prior Michael Brunner welcomed the community's newest full member, marveling at his journey from the Andaman Islands of India to our Aquidneck Island.
The novitiate deepens a novice's understanding of the monastic life, so that it can be lived out in the fullest possible manner, sanctifying the individual novice throughout the rest of their monastic life and sanctifying the community through them. Novicemaster Fr. Edward Mazuski outlines for us the content and purpose of the novitiate.
