Fr. Hugh and Fr. Ambrose shared their reflections on why this particular feast is so dear to our community and how it can be summed up in one word—beauty.
While the lower wall of the mosaic can be seen as an earthly, historical representation—that of Our Lady of Guadalupe appearing to St. Juan Diego—the upper part shows us a celestial scene. There the saints dwell in the radiant glory of heaven.
IN PERSON AND VIA Livestream | DECEMBER 9 - 12
The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is so dear to our community. This year, we have a full program to help immerse observe this magnificent Catholic celebration: several days of lectures exploring the significance of the Apparitions (Dec. 9-11), special digital content, and on the Feast itself (Dec. 12) a full day of prayers, music, food, dancing, and a candlelit procession--all in honor of the Queen of the Americas.
The Abbot's Circle is a first-of-its-kind virtual monastery—an evolving, curated library that offers an inside look at the artistic, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual work that the Norbertines of St. Michael’s Abbey carry out each day for the praise and honor of God.
Hidden in the stillness of southern California’s desert mountains, St. Michael’s Abbey goes about a timeless and supernatural mission: the common worship of God. This is a place for all to encounter the unfathomable beauty of God and to enter into the mystery of His unrelenting love.
Against a culture in ever desperate need for beauty, St. Michael’s Abbey stands as a refuge for reverent liturgy, inspiring art, and captivating sacred music and chant. Through our work, we are laying the foundation for the sanctification of our society and a renewal in our Church.
