Annual Retreat
We had our annual retreat last week. Dom Francis Michael, abbot of our monastery in Georgia, Holy Spirit Abbey,was our retreat director. He mainly preached about the Trinity, opening up dimensions of relationships in the Trinity and with us, God's beloved creatures.
We were also blessed by the beautiful weather. We don't often have an early spring but this year we do. The weather was perfect with temperatures in the 60's and sunny every day. It was a joy just to revel in God's creation.
