Springtime: Time to restart the work at our gardens and with our bees, to bring the animals back to the pastures. Time to receive friends from the area or guests from Japan. Time when life wakes up in many colors.

Do not forget: Third part coming next week.

Monastic Profession

On Saturday, October 4, we celebrated the Solemn Monastic Profession and Life Commitment of our brother Alvaro. It was a moment of joy for our community and for our families and friends who came to be with us from as far as Brazil and Mexico. We would like to share our joy with you. This 9 minute video shows the monastic profession in the context of our Eucharistic celebration. We thank our friend Sean Dougherty who filmed the video.

Monastery Tour 3-Come Inside!

Our hope is that our Monastery buildings reflect the monastic values of simplicity and beauty. This 3:20 video brings you inside the places where we live and pray.

Mexico Experience – Part 2

The Joy of encountering People, beyond our borders, beyond our cultures. That’s a hight point of the time we lived in Cuernavaca. We made this video to give you a taste of that – plus the beauty and quiet at the Centro Guadalupe * and the fun of visiting a street market in Tepoxtlan. See also the first part of the trip! (video here below)

*Note: The Guadalupe Center is a hospitality center we sponsor together with our Mexican Benedictine Sisters. It offers to North Americans – and all peoples – the opportunity to spend a time experiencing Latin American spirituality and culture.
