Monasticism in the 21st century

Here is an article written in 2000 by a nun that really beautifully describes what it means to be a monk or nun. Reading it makes me aware of how wonderful these people are.

    Have just heard about the horror of the bushfires in your area. Thoughts and prayers are with you and yours at this time. Hugs.

    Yes Unordered, I work at the War Memorial. It certainly is a fascinating place to work but it can be quite depressing at times. I hope you are well.
