Just as a group of gumbo limbo trees provides a safe haven for all kinds of creatures, our monastic community invites us to be a place of safety and peace in which we help one another to thrive and survive.
Today and year after year, Good Friday invites us to come together as believers, to lay down our burdens and sorrows, to acknowledge and take ownership of injustices and selfishness, all the sins of the world and lay them at the foot of the cross.
When each of us is fully charged, shining brightly with hope, love, compassion, forgiveness, and caring, we can bring light into our darkened world.
