There is holiness on the monastery grounds
Liz and I have been visiting the monastery for over a decade and have made such wonderful friends: Father Paul, Brothers Rafael and Placid, and so many more. Each time we visit for spiritual direction, or for a retreat, we are reminded of the peacefulness of simplicity and the holiness found in calmness. I have included this special place in both of my novels because I can see and feel God's presence there, and want to be able to share the miraculous feeling with others. Vina has helped form who we are and I expect will continue to be a tool in shaping who we will become.
