On this feast of the Presentation of Our Lady, second anniversary of our first clothings in 2017, the community has just concluded a week-long retreat under the guidance of Fr Michael Bozell from the Abbey Saint Pierre of Solesmes. Fr Bozell spoke to us beautifully of seeking the Face of Christ, especially in the Beatitudes and the Our Father, through the eyes of Mary Immaculate within the long monastic tradition we have inherited and live through the Rule of St Benedict. We are most grateful for this time he spent among us, his excellent example and his encouragements for our young community to pursue the path we have set out upon to live the Rule here in Australia. Regretfully we send him back to Solesmes with our prayers and best wishes, and with special thanks to the Abbot of Solesmes, Dom Philippe Dupont.
