Epiphany Blessing of our Monastery

Each year on Epiphany Sunday, the Sisters, including our Sisters from Benet Hall, gather in the area surrounding the entrance to the Monastery. Sister Lois, Prioress, prays: “Today we come to ask God’s blessing on our dwelling place, on everyone who is resident at the Monastery, and on everyone who passes this way.”

“Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life...all of our life.”
–Henri Nouwen
