This year we have three monks here from other Abbeys, one for the novitiate and two for studies in the seminary. On the left is Novice Damian who is from Christ the King Priory, Schuyler, Nebraska. He will make his canonical novitiate here with our own two novices. In the center is Brother Gerard from Christ in the Desert Monastery in New Mexico. On the right is Brother Gabriel from Worth Abbey in England. Also visiting here this past week has been Abbot Cuthbert Madden from Ampleforth Abbey in England.
After a couple of good rains this past week the weather has broken for a while anyway. The last two days have been comfortable and the nights quite cool. Yesterday and today I went for a good walk around the lake and other places rather than use the treadmill in the infirmary.
Father Gilbert continues to be a patient at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville. He fell a week or so ago and broke a bone in his leg. He will be 93 years old this week on Tuesday, August 28.
