In times when encounters with real evil in the world leave us overwhelmed, the surest path forward is not to seek something new, but to return with renewed fervor to the simple remedies the Church has always placed in our hands.
The Solemnity of Our Holy Father Augustine, which we recently celebrated on August 28th, is always a day of joy for the Church, and especially for us Norbertines.
The more insight you gain through contemplating the Truth Who is God, the more of a sense of humor you will develop.

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.
