Reflecting on our blessings this Thanksgiving, we have abundant things to be grateful for: our vocation to sing the praises of God every day; the young women who are currently discerning their vocations with our community; our families, oblates, friends, and benefactors, who are so generous to us; and the wonderful harvest our land produced this year. Let us not forget that the word “Eucharist” means “Thanksgiving.” God incarnate, made present on our altar every day, is the greatest gift of all.
We are also deeply grateful for our friends at the Denver Catholic who recently published this story based on an interview with our Abbess, Mother Maria-Michael, OSB: Where Heaven Meets the Hills: Walburga’s Mother Maria-Michael on the Beauty of Consecrated Life.
