Sr. Jacinta: The quiet Benedictine life lived in its simple and traditional sense has always drawn souls from the world, no matter the times, to love God. In St. Benedict’s time the Church and society were turbulent, yet he simply lived the gospel message in his monasteries, and when the world desired the sacred, it was able to find it among the monks and nuns who had kept it.

There is no decrease of interest to this order, in fact I am told, only more and more inquiries. Despite the waves smashing against the boat and what looks like imminent danger of capsizing, Jesus is securely sleeping with everything in control and happening according to His Providence. As long we do our part and live our sacred Rule of St. Benedict and remain faithfully in the boat, the Catholic Church, when it pleases God, He will arise and calm the storm.
