A Colombian Novice in the USA

 

Dear friends:

 

I want to give you a quick update of my status of my life. I entered to the novitiate of our Order, Benedictine Fathers.  Novitiate may be a new word to some, and without a latin dictionary, I believe it means: "a time for testing".  I just began the cannonical year as of august 11, I'm the only one in this process, we doesn't have many vocations.  Just a couple days ago arrived a candidate from colombia. I hope he will stay here and enjoy the community life here at the Mount. 

 

I'm not able to say too much about the program I'm following other than I'm leading a life of community prayer, much personal prayer, liturgy, several daily classes and conferences (in house, non-credit learning), exercise and recreation, house duties and chores, and eating.  This year of the formation process is intend to be an ongoing time of spiritual and community development and discernment. 

 

This is for now!.  At this point, my acces to e-mail is limited, so forgive me if my response is slow.  If you are inspired at some point in terms of a phone call, around 9:30 pm Central time is probably the best time to find me in my room. If you want to writte me by regular mail that is fine, I would most apreciated it.

 

I most apreciate your prayers and I will be praying for you during what I believe will be a very special and graced year.

 

In the spirit of Our Holy Father St Benedict, with love and prayers:

 

Brother Carlos, OSB
