Seek His face

In a week that has seen so much sorrow in Iraq, Peru and elsewhere, it is not surprising that some people have challenged us about the usefulness of our way of life. Monasticism only makes sense if you believe that God exists, that he may be sought and found, and that searching for him is a worthwhile enterprise. The more one seeks God, the more one realises that he has been seeking us all the time. We can choose many different ways of escape and evasion, some of them a little more successful than others, but ultimately each of us will stand before him and know how deeply he has loved us.
