Through these photos, we wish to share with you the natural wonders around our monastery campus — the simple wonders of nature for which we are grateful.

The psalmist of the Old Testament expresses best our feelings of gratitude this season. “I will praise you, O God, with all my heart; I will recount all your wonders.... Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the trees of the forest shout for joy at the presence of the Holy One.... You visited the earth and watered it; you have greatly enriched it. You crown the year with your goodness. Your paths overflow with plenty.... Oh, the majesty and splendor of God’s presence! Praise God in the sanctuary, and in the vast expanse of heaven. Praise God’s surpassing greatness, immensity, grandeur, and might. Let everything that has breath, sing praise to God!”
