"It seems strange to say, but what can help modern man find the answers to his own mystery and the mystery of him in whose image he is created, is silence, solitude -- in a word, the desert. Modern man needs these things more than the hermits of old." Catherine Doherty

Winter arrives at The Mary Theotokos Spirituality Center!

As the third weekend of Advent approaches so does old man winter.







 
Now it is really time to prepare for the annual 6 to 10 feet of snow we get and all the work this season entails as well as the silent beauty this blanket of white creates.

We are also are preparing for our manger set to receive its visitors and our own personal journeys as we reflect on the miraculous birth of our savior, in a town named after the Hebrew noun for "Bread", and placed in a "feeding trough" by his young mother and father.

Pax et Bonum

and

Merry Christmas
