This weekend of July 6-7 was our annual Pray and Work weekend for the oblates. We had about twenty five oblates here who spent most of the day on Saturday working. They painted in St. Benedict and in Marian Hall and they put together notebooks for each room in the guest house with information that is needed by the guests. We appreciate all they do for us and enjoyed having them here for the weekend. Some pictures of the weekend will soon be available on my Smugmug photo site. Photos are courtesy of Karen Ceckowski. Above is a picture of those who attended the weekend.
It is very hot and dry here. The temperature has been up in the 90's and it is windy and we need rain badly. While they have had plenty of rain south of here even in Kansas City, we have not had rain for some weeks now. The grass is drying up.
Yesterday I celebrated my 74th birthday. The years just keep counting up as we go through this life. Last night the oblates had a little party for me. It was very nice.
Many of the community are gone right now. It seems to be a busy time for vacations. Some come home but then others leave.
This week I have Mass for the Sisters at Clyde everyday. That is enjoyable but does mean preparing a little homily every day.

As a Novice I am grateful for the blogsite you have developed. It brings the Abbey from miles away right into my home and heart.
I think it can serve to better strengthen the ties the Oblates have with the Abbey.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to develop this. My prayers continue to be with you...
