Listen to Sr Kathy's Reflections on the O Antiphons
Take a break from all the busyness of the season and go a little deeper into the meaning of Christmas.
At Redwoods, Thanksgiving is a liturgical event held in the context of the Eucharist. The Eucharist (known also as the Mass) comes from the Greek word eucharistein,which means to give thanks. It commemorates the self-gift of Christ for the salvation of the world and is the “source and summit” of our communal life together.
Fr. Joseph Boyle, OCSO - Spiritual Teacher, Friend, Lover of Creation, Abbot and Brother died on Sunday, October 21st at St Benedict’s Monastery, Snowmass, Colorado. He touched so many of us within the Order and beyond with his kindness, personal generosity, wit and intelligence. We will surely miss him, but trust in his intercession for all monastics, spiritual seekers, and lovers of Christ. May he rest in the Glory of God and confer that glory and insight to us below.
In September, 2017, Sr Kathy, our abbess, attended the General Chapter of the Cistercian Order in Assisi, Italy. This meeting of Cistercian abbots and abbesses from around the world happens every three years.
