Dreams: A Message from the Prior
"Now here we are at the First Sunday of Advent, the beginning of another Church year. Advent reminds us of a time when the human race dreamed…" Prior Michael Brunner offers a message about Advent, and about dreams.
"We Come 'Round Right": The Circular Journey of Community
Our "Community" focus on "The Artists of the Abbey" has thus far looked at members of our present community - Adam Paul Heller, Joe Soares, and Bob Trump, each with his distinctive specialty (stone carving, painting, liturgical art), yet all with diverse artistic skill and accomplishment. This week, we will turn to some of the oldest art on display at the Abbey.
As the church is decorated for the Advent Season, with the return of the Advent garland and wreath, and the reappearance of Ade Bethune's banner in the choir, we also not the renewed emphasis on the altars in the upstairs gallery.
While the vacation may offer a more leisurely pace around here, the
gospel does not. Do not put off for tomorrow what you should have done
yesterday. So, will you attend to God’s will tomorrow? And, “If not now,
when...?”
