I am a person that likes to think aloud. I always need a sounding board to do my best thinking. The same goes for spiritual growth and insight with me. Without a wise spiritual guide, I am lost.
It is very important that I seek out trustworthy friends with whom to share my spiritual growth, insights and concerns. St. Benedict acknowledges the value of these people in community when he speaks of those who know through experience how to heal wounds and hold confidences. Friends like that are invaluable. I am fortunate to have many models of the monastic life in my own life.
I am grateful for the example of all the great women who have gone before me in this way of life.
Sr. Catherine, OSB
