Monday Musings - Silence and Solitude - A Guest Blog from Father Justin Sheehan, OCSO
I have been blessed over the years to visit the Trappist community at the Abbey of the Genesee in Piffard, N.Y. - to take time to enjoy the counsel, peace, quiet and solitude they offer. I have shared some of the spiritual insight I have been blessed to receive during my retreats there. Here is one example. But I have not been able to get there as often as I would like. In between visits, I have treasured a homily given by Father Justin Sheehan, OCSO in 2008. I received his permission to share it with you. May God use it to stir your hearts and souls. By the way, the next best thing to visiting this special place in person is to do so online. Missing their Monks' Bread and other delights? Fear not!
