I have visited Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky at least three times and -- on the second visit -- a staff member showed me Pater Tom's gravesite, where I returned also on my third visit. I also had the opportunity to visit Flossenburg -- the site of the concentration camp in Germany where Bonhoffer was executed. Their written texts are profound but sometimes over the heads of mere mortals. Their Spirits, however, welcome anyone who can visit their sacred ground and that visit does leave a permanent mark on the pilgrim's soul. No one who has ever knelt in that Kentucky Bluegrass or near that quiet marker in the concrete comes away unchanged.<br /><br />Only the very best of blessings!<br />Dcn Norb in OhioNorberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464878965952469636noreply@blogger.com
