08-Dec-2023
Serenity is a precious gift. In the peaceful quietness of a monastery, we are invited to participate in the serenity of God. In it, we find not only God, but also his wishes for us and for our community of faith. But are such fruits exclusive to the monastic lifestyle, and are such treasures of spirituality locked away in the walls of monasteries, only to be accessible by the majority of people during brief retreats? How should we bring the spirit of monasticism into the busy cityscape of Hong Kong, that our urban-stressed souls can find a place of peaceful quietness, where we can hear the call of our Lord?
