Hello and Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m Sr Nikki, OSB-F, Cloister Porter. Br Ricky asked me to introduce the results of the survey “Novices Mew Their Thanks.”
Life is busy and so I thank all the novices and their humans who shared their thanksgivings with us. Here are the questions that Br Ricky and Amma gave for reflection.
Novices
What are you especially thankful for right now?
What have you learned from the Rule of Benedict that you are thankful for?
(Br. Ricky added a verse or two from the Rule as an example of what each novice has learned.)
Humans
What are you especially thankful for right now?
I purred when I read the thanksgivings. They are inspiring and touching. As you read, I invite you to do so prayerfully. Join the novices and humans in giving thanks. Pray for each novice and human.
