A Word from Our Amma
Greetings in our Resurrected Lord!
I pray that the season of Lent was a time of blessed communion, drawing you closer to the heart of God. May the disciplines of those solemn weeks have increased your hunger for that which only Love can satisfy—the desire for God alone.
Saint Benedict encourages his monks during Lent to “look forward to holy Easter with joy and spiritual longing.” (Rule of Benedict 49.7) In doing so, he reminds us that we live in this world as people of hope. There is no darkness that the light of Christ cannot overcome; there is no hurt that cannot ultimately be healed; there is no sadness that will not one day be turned to joy.
So let us sing our great Alleluia songs of praise! Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again!
Grace and Peace,
+Mary
