First Impressions

I confess. I’ve spent a lot of time as a monastic guest, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Hearing the sound of the bells calling me to chapel four to seven times a day (depending on the monastery) filled me with inexplicable joy, and the time spent chanting each Office was sacred time permeated with God in a way I hadn’t experienced before. But I wasn’t sure how that would translate when it became my everyday life.
