The retreat to the Maronite monastery has been secured.  I will spend one full day with the Eucharist centered community.  The drive to Massachusetts, audio books devoured–the summer vacation to Spain a focus, before and after the day of reflection, preceding quiet and stillness within a community of men dedicated to hidden lives within the Eucharist.  The reality nurtures with comfort and peace.  This is a beautifully soothing seasonal image provided by the monastery in an email.  I am pleased.
