"Each morning, I take the same route from my cell in the cloister to
my choir stall in the chapel. The priory at that early hour is quiet and
still, the darkness slowly retreats as the sun begins to peek through
the windows. I am greeted with the smell of old incense, wood polish,
and burning candles when I open the chapel door and find my choir stall.
And then it happens … BAM!
"A beam of light straight to the face. My eyes, blinded by the light
of the rising sun. It turns out that the combination of a new choir
stall and the early summer sunrise equal a friendly wake up call from
nature, and even though one would think that I would come to expect it
each morning, I haven't yet. It gets me every time."
In a recent commentary, Brother Vincent Mary Bernhard, O.P., reflected on God's glory shining through His creation.
