Three of our Benedictine Oblates from Bristow and Bedford are on their way to the Benedictine Oblate Congress in Rome to represent our Saint Benedict monastery. We ask your prayers for them as they travel and while they are there. The three of them will meet in Florence tomorrow and tour the area. Then they will spend a few days in Rome before the Congress begins on Saturday. After the Congress, they will extend their trip to visit the site of Saint Benedict’s first monastery at Monte Cassino, then on to Rome. All the Oblates at the Congress will have a general audience with Pope Francis. Thanks to all of you for representing us. We will look forward to your return and your sharing all your experiences with us. Ciao!
