Abbey of Gethsemani




The Abbey is a Trappist Monestary not so very far from where I live. As they take in laypersons for periods of retreat, it is my dream to spend a few days there...someday. It is most famous because it was the home of Thomas Merton (those who read regularly know he is one of my favorite authors).

Pat McNamara has written an interesting article about the 163 year old Abbey. Read the story here Who knows, perhaps you may want to visit too!
