Long shadows. Long day for Fr. Anthony and big Kevin Harrington repairing a sinkhole (we found old license plates from 1915). They wouldn’t stop til the job was done!! @ Saint Benedict Abbey https://t.co/54ILGYGV5U

If it were not for the beautiful American flag, wouldn’t this old stone church on the banks of the Wachusett Reservoir look like Scotland or Ireland? #americaisbeautiful https://t.co/71hn1QtPgG

Who knew? Little ol’ Clinton, Massachusetts, once known for its bars and mills, has beautiful trails along the Wachusett Reservoir. https://t.co/FjNbIX7xKU

You had to be there!! The Abbey’s dump truck, Padua, arrived with 81,444 lbs - just short of 25 tons of rock tailings to build up the road to the chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe along the bank of the Nashua River.… https://t.co/dmbk1cgYX9

It’s tempting to call the Abbey’s big dump truck “The Jolly Green Giant” because hauling a payload of 47,000 lbs is effortless! But we name all our cars and trucks after saints. Maybe in memory of our first dump… https://t.co/izqqYlPl3D

@willcall1985 @PhilLawler Willcall. Doesn’t it bother you even a little that Some American prelates can be so “outraged” by certain issues but so vanilla about others. One of God’s first commandments was “Be fruitful and multiply”. Where is new life in the Church? The American church is dying daily.

@WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump Because there are so many quacks scamming people, good guys like Jack McNamara ([email protected]) can’t get a hospital to test his amazing sanitizing process

Monks have practiced social distancing since the Middle Ages processing into Vespers for Laetare Sunday to pray for you and your family and all God’s people. @ Saint Benedict Abbey https://t.co/vy8JQXU20X
