The beginning of any year is always filled with uncertainty. What will the New Year bring? How will we balance our faith with the busyness of the year?
Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila-Latourrette shares with us his own concerns for the New Year in this daily meditation and helps us down the path to grace and spiritual strengthening. Through anecdotes of his daily life in the New England area, stories of grace from the Saints, and prayers and reflections to keep our mind on God, Brother Victor encourages us to live simply this year and to seek and find God in the silence that is so hard to find in our modern world.
Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila-Latourrette is a resident monk at Our Lady of the Resurrection Monastery near Millbrook, NY, a monastery that lives under the rule of St. Benedict. There, he cooks and tends to the garden that supplies both the monastery and the local farmers market.
He is the best-selling author of several books including Sacred Feasts: From a Monastery Kitchen, Blessings of the Daily: A Monastic Book of Days, Simply Living the Beatitudes and A Monastery Journey to Christmas.
