Gratitude to the Norbertine Community of St. Norbert Abbey

By Nancy Santamaria

Formation Director, Norbetine Associates, Daylesford Abbey

There is a pervading sense of gratitude filling my heart and spirit for all the careful planning and unending generosity offered by the Norbertines, planning committee, associates of St. Norbert Abbey, and attendees. You welcomed us into your spiritual landscape, your college, your abbey home, and your hearts.

Communio was abundantly evident in our prayer together, in educational sessions, in sharing from minds and hearts, in celebrating, and in widening our “circle of empathy” in our personal, communal, planetary joys, and suffering.

Let us continue to hold all in prayer, and our mother earth, as we journey through life. I will.

My gratitude only deepens as I reflect.

Thank you.
