During their stay, they are invited to join the community in daily prayer and eucharist, plus other activities."<br /><br />"In keeping with the tradition of monastic hospitality, guest house facilities are offered for monastic retreats. All retreatants, coming either singly or in a group, are expected to participate in the monastic exercises of silence, solitude, simple living, community and personal prayer.<br /><br />Guest quarters provide a place for prayer and reading. There are eleven rooms, single or double occupancy. Hosted are private retreats and conferences, group tours, days of reflection, spiritual counseling, Friday's Taize candlelight service The lounge in Benedict Hall and the gazebos in the plaza are used for sharing and conferences. RV spaces are available." <br /><br />If I were staying there and were invited to participate or the feeling expressed in the 2nd statement, from the Holy Trinity Monastery web site, were voiced I would be uncomfortable declining. I would therefore probably not stay there.<br /><br />I assume that your friends were either not invited, did participate or did not not feel uncomfortable declining to participate.Edhttp://edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-6208678926795627532009-10-16T11:52:11.727-04:002009-10-16T11:52:11.727-04:00Thanks, Al - Now we've got another place to ad...Thanks, Al - Now we've got another place to add to our list of places to visit while we're in AZ next year. Great pics again, too - I know it's the photographer and not just the camera that makes your pics so amazing. I always like to remember that a table saw used by a craftsman can produce fine furniture; used by an amateur, it makes fine firewood!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-47511231709595268262009-10-16T11:37:02.809-04:002009-10-16T11:37:02.809-04:00Al, thank you for featuring "our" monast...Al, thank you for featuring "our" monastery. It's just seven miles from our winter home in Benson. You've got some fine pictures of the place. Pecans are a major industry throughout this part of the dessert country -- thousands of acres, it seems, as you drive any highway. That's good, because we never get enough pecan pie!Jerry and Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381487159402842587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-85447064824561637712009-10-16T10:53:52.238-04:002009-10-16T10:53:52.238-04:00Awesome photos - what type of camera do you use, t...Awesome photos - what type of camera do you use, they are always so clear and sharp. <br />RobertaWayne and Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707083374034910289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-13275801341425309462009-10-16T09:25:28.002-04:002009-10-16T09:25:28.002-04:00Dont mind me Al,I'm just practicing and trying...Dont mind me Al,I'm just practicing and trying to figure why in some blog comment section's,my Google account shows and in others it doesn't.trying to figure how to activate it when its not there.Wandering Willyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146697309965392130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-91181761448453252292009-10-16T03:14:05.272-04:002009-10-16T03:14:05.272-04:00I've been putting your photos as my desktop b...I've been putting your photos as my desktop background...but you have so many beautiful and interesting ones in each blog, I am having to change my desktop every 3 hours just to keep up!Reneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-84218946167960514712009-10-15T23:01:48.174-04:002009-10-15T23:01:48.174-04:00I'm always so amazed that your writing and pic...I'm always so amazed that your writing and pictures make me want to head for the southwest when I don't even like desert for more than a day!
