onderful Retreat!On Friday afternoon, October 26, four of us--Grace Gutekunst, Steve Locke, and June and Andy Harnack--made the beautiful fall drive to the Dwelling Place Monastery at Martin, Kentucky to spend the evening, all of Saturday, and Sunday morning with a community of Benedictine sisters.
Meeting frequently with our Oblate Director, Sr. Judy Yunker, our converesations about the Rule of St. Benedict and life at the community were profoundly engaging. Praying the Daily Office with sisters was such a privilege, and the Agape on Sunday was unforgettable, an experience each of us will remember for the rest of our lives.
All of us thank the sisters at the Dwelling Place with heartfelt gratitude!

Sounds like a wonderful time. I had the privilege of staying the weekend at the Abbey of Gethsemani. Praying with the monks is my favorite part of being there. I'm sure you can relate.
Peace.
