The Bishop "laying on of hands," I could feel the holiness of the apostolic succession handed down over 2000 years of Catholic Ordination.

Vina (Trappist Monastery)


On of my favorite places on this earth is the Monastery in Vina. There is a peacefulness there that is almost indescribable.

A simple bench overlooking a vineyard.

A peaceful pond.

The entrance of the monastery.

A small chapel used by visitors.

Liz and the kids visiting Father Paul and his sister

(who was out visiting as well.)
