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.

Hope for a Hard Life
The lived experience of most people is: life is hard. We’re still in this valley of tears. We live it, but might not be relating it in a way that’s helpful…we just drag it around. Enter: Advent.
