Please excuse the silence while I'm in vacation. While I still have thoughts knocking around upstairs, I find myself a bit too lazy to put them down into words or I want to give myself a chance to chew on them more before I share them, since the gestation period for my posts tends to be rather short and it would perhaps be beneficial for all should I stew with them a bit more before posting them, that way they are not random thoughts or knee-jerk responses.
Vacation progresses well enough, although idleness is bad for my soul so I've tried to keep as strict as I can with prayer and I've still managed to keep my usual daily holy hour every day so far. I've managed to spend most of these holy hours before the exposed Blessed Sacrament, which has been a tremendous blessing. I will very much miss the weekly, communal adoration of the Blessed Sacrament we shared in the novitiate year, although I have a promise from another brother that he would join me at least once a week during the semester at Saint Clement's here in the city, which has perpetual adoration.
I'm planning on taking an overnight stay in at a monastery out west, just to step away from the city for a little while and have some time to recollect. One overnight stay may not be enough, but one overnight stay is what I've got, so it's what I'll work with.
Happy Feast of the Assumption.
Pax.
