A Welsh Benedictine monk living at Shrewsbury Abbey in western England, Brother Cadfael spends much of his time tending the herbs and vegetables in the garden-but now there's a more pressing matter. Cadfael is to serve as translator for a group of monks heading to the town of Gwytherin in Wales. The team's goal is to collect the holy remains of Saint Winifred, which Prior Robert hopes will boost the abbey's reputation, as well as his own. But when the monks arrive in Gwytherin, the town is divided over the request.

Purpose is the fire that warms the heart, gives light for vision, and generates energy to sustain work.  I'm passing along an  article written from a Bishop in Atlanta that can give us perspective about our purpose as a parish and faith community.  Please read and digest Rt. Rev. Bishop Wright's message, as it rings about who we are at Resurrection.
