Escape

Last week we had prayer at the small monastery chapel.  It’s different over there.  The size of the group is usually a little smaller, and the atmosphere is very serene and prayerful.  After we finished “John” came up to me and told me, “This is a wonderful escape.  Just to be here where it is quiet and to sing and listen to one another is such a good feeling.  It really is an escape from everything confronting us out there.”  I smiled in agreement, and when I thought about it, felt the same way. - Br.
