Please read this great letter I received from one of the young men who just attended our Monastic Discernment Weekend:God bless Father Fred!
Hey, guess what--I was telling my friend at lunch today what an awesome experience I had at St. Vincent. The introverted and isolated part of me is diminishing as the fire that was stoked within me Saturday night continues to consume me. I told him about everything--Lectio, Vespers, adoration in the morning, what the monks were like, I couldn't cover everything of course, but it turns out that he has also been struggling with ideas of religious life or priesthood. He started telling me this and I said "Dude, you have to talk to Father Fred." You may see him at the next come and see weekend.
I wish I could be telling you this in person, because I am very excited that God's present in my life and in those around me and I am seeing Him greater and greater.
See you later,
A discerner
