"Come let us join with the angels and saints in offering thanks and praise to the Lord on this solemnity of our Father Benedict."
~Vespers Antiphon
Today, we joined with our Sisters, employees and friends in celebrating the Feast of Saint Benedict. All throughout the house we could hear well-wishes of "Happy Feast!" As a part of our celebration we welcomed our employees to lunch and supper with us in the dinning room. The homemade pizza from the kitchen was made more festive with the lively laughter of mechanics next to Sister Professor who was next to a nurses assistant who chatted with an Elder Sister who was next to an administrative assistant and so on. It was a wonderful opportunity to share this festive day with those who are a part of our everyday lives.
"We listen to the words we hear God speak, a promise of life and light we seek: In love run ways we cannot clearly see until our hearts expand and set us free."
~Lauds Responsory
"Let us rejoice! Rejoice in the Lord for a feast in honor of Benedict, at whose triumph the angels rejoice and give praise to the Son of God."
~Lauds Antiphon
"Let us love one another with fervent love, endure one another's infirmities; patiently serve and obey one another, and prefer nothing whatever to Christ."
~Vespers Antiphon
Blessings,
