Every Sunday brings us back to the cross and the resurrection of our Christ. A weekly day for remembrance, and set aside as holy. A holy day we give to prayer, praise, and being present with our God who conquered death.

Throughout the history of monasticism, our ancestors have not fought. They rejected violence, even when it meant their own death. The monastic tradition we are a part of is unwavering in its rejection of violence. We are to be people of peace. People who stand against the killing of anyone.
