Fr. Elias has been asked to deliver the annual Advent conferences for the Benedictine St. Meinrad Archabbey community in Indiana on successive Mondays, the 7th and 14th.

He theme is the various "comings" of Christ which we contemplate at Advent. The first coming and the final coming are obvious, but particularly dear to the Cistercian fathers is the "middle" coming, by which Jesus comes into the hearts of each individual.


The Abbey of Gethsemani has enjoyed a long and fruitful friendship with the Archabbey of St. Meinrad.
