The fraternal life is not accessory to life. We’re coming to the desert together, which constantly challenges each of us to give ourselves to the Lord and to each other. We belong to one another.

We have to accept help and service and love. Either way, we have to keep learning more and more: life isn’t about me.
This Lent, we’ll be working through Born of Fire by Fr. Innocent Montgomery, CFR.

Prayer and Repentance
Growth in spiritual life is always challenging. In the beginning, it’s gonna take a LOT of effort.
