We are so excited to be planning our 2022 Annual Conference! This year is going to be a Homecoming celebration as we gather at Camp Allen and online to explore our past, present, and future.

In preparation for the October 7 th -9 th conference,

Homecoming: Path to a New Day,

we are asking for donations in honor of alums. All of us have been accompanied on our paths during our time in Community of Hope and we would like to honor those sojourners in a special way this year.

We would love to hear a story about your honored alum, a picture included would be even more wonderful! In each monthly newsletter, we will spotlight your submissions and during the conference, we will create a Hall of Alums at Camp Allen.

Please submit and email with your story and picture to pamelapiedfort@gmail.com

"A PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR"
FROM ASH & STARLIGHT - PRAYERS FOR THE CHAOS & GRACE OF DAILY LIFE
BY ARIANNE BRAITHWAITE LEHN
Gracious One,

I thank you for holding my
hand in this fresh, new year . . .
Against my inclination
and with your help,
I let go of my desire for
more control over my life.

My hunger to know what’s coming
and to be ready for it.

My expectations to be in charge.

RUMINATIONS ON THE RULE
BRANDON JONNA BECK, NOVICE
THE NEW BENEDICTINE COMMUNITY OF THE HOLY TRINITY

We desire that this Rule be read often in the community, so that none of the [siblings] may excuse [themself] on the ground of ignorance. (Chapter 66)

New Year - Beginning Again

At the end of Chapter 66, Benedict encourages us to read the Rule often.

Tradition became, and holds, that a daily reading of a part of the Rule until the whole Rule has been read allows for the Rule to be read three times a year.

Paired with the reading of an experienced, monastic commentary, daily reading of the Rule is intended to guide and form disciples, seekers, and newcomers in the ways of the community.

January 1, 2022.

Welcome to the beginning, again, friends - a new opportunity to listen with the ear of our heart; to learn humility; to be obedient; to be stable; and to convert our hearts, minds and bodies - all in service of Love of God, neighbor and self.

Amen.

NB For deeper reflection and practice, along with your regular daily Rule reading, I commend to you the new book Praying with Saint Benedict: Reflections on the Rule by Stephen Isaacson (2021) from Morehouse Publishing.

Isaacson provides scriptural connections, discussion questions, and intertextual connections on a thematic basis rather than in the traditional pattern of chapters-in-order, exegetical commentary.
