On Earth Peace
Good Will Toward Men

Dear Friends,
Last Christmas I sent Mr. George a few pictures of our new monastery. You remember we had consulted him when we were planning to build and he sent us a preliminary plan. Two of our sisters visited your compound in New Hope but he was ill at the time. We had to continue our plans with local people as best as we could. He wrote me about his plans for the peace altar - and last February he wrote to thank me for the pictures and to tell me the place of the peace alter. After I learned of his death in June, I wanted to write you at once. My thoughts and prayers have been with you. He was one of world's truly great souls and I feel blessed to have had words from him, to know of his spirit.
It is good to know his monastery at Christ in the Desert which I have visited, is growing and prospering - and also La Soledad.
May he pray for our world today - peace is in such peril
Sister Carmen, O.C.P.
