The Lord lives!

Welcome back, faithful readers. Rejoice this day. 59 years ago, October 31, 1962, four Cistercian nuns arrived from Our Lady of Nazareth Abbey, Brecht, Belgium, to begin our foundation, Our Lady of the Redwoods Abbey. One of those four nuns, Sister Veronique, in our midst, continues to inspire and edify us. Please pray for us so that we "grow and prosper the more" (Dt 6:3) and love God with all our heart, with all our understanding, with all our strength, and love our neighbor as ourselves (Mk 12:33). Thank you. We pray for you, united in faith.

SAINT ALFONSO RODRIGUEZ,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
