Mount Saviour Monastery
April 2011
News:
The month was filled with many events that made us rejoice or worry
at times. On April 2nd., John Sue In Suk was received as a postulant
and took the name Br. Simon. He is Japanese and has been in this
country for over 15 years. On Sunday, April 3rd., we made our annual
visit to Grace Episcopal Church to sing Vespers and Compline. On
April 7th, Br. Bruno had a farm accident that tore his clothing and bruised
a few leg muscles. On April 12th, Br. Stephen called 911 while
we were in the crypt for Vigils. He had a leg hemorrage and
lost a lot of blood. After a quick trip to the hospital, he was released
and feels fine. All our ewes were brought to the barn on the
13th and, on the next day, lambs were born at a rapid pace. We could
count 200 by the end of the month. The Triduum was busy with many
guests who participated in many ways for the celebrations. Our lambs
learn how to walk quickly; this year, we might say that they learn how
to swim because of 8 inches of rain during the month.
