The life of a monk, clothed in humility, prayer and a spirit of repentance and thanksgiving, reflect their love for God and mankind, Their heart and soul manifest a deep yearning for the Kingdom of Heaven.
“I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.” (Psalm 9:1)
The aura of sanctity within the monastery manifested with sublime profundity. Amidst the silence, my thoughts were calmed, and I yearned deeply for the peace which pervaded my very being.
The smell of burning wood permeated the cold winter morning. There was a profound stillness and aura of peace pervading the monastery. Walking in awe of my surrounds, I discovered a staircase. Archaic and worn, it was nevertheless beautiful to behold in its antiquity. In deep reverie, the poignancy of the psalmist’s words stirred my soul. “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)
