Praem Spirituality Center News and Programs 15 - Phyllis Martin Lecture: Sister Ilia Delio, OSF The Challenges of Living in a Sacramental World Dear Friends, Almost exactly 51 years ago I came to Daylesford as a high school senior for a visit. I was intrigued by the peace that I immediately felt here. I wanted to give this Abbey life a try to see if I really belonged. I was deeply inspired by the motto of John Neitzel, the first Abbot, That all may be one. I soon discovered that St. Norbert was well known in his time as a minister of reconciliation. I have to say that I quickly felt at home and wanted to be a part of a community which aspired to be ministers of reconciliation. I could never have imagined that my Norbertine brothers would one day call on me to shepherd them as Father Abbot. Given the growing polarization in our world, our nation, and even in our Church, I believe deeply that our mission - as followers of Saint Norbert - is more relevant today than ever. Our mission is born in the Norbertine charism of communio or communion in Christ. When ideally lived (and to be honest, we often fall short), we are called to see what unites us before we would allow our differences to divide us. So, if I love Christ before all else, I must be looking for his presence in you. If we are able to see Christ in one another - even through our weaknesses - how then could we possibly justify alienating and even demonizing one another because of some political, or theological, or social position? Our way of loving Jesus is THROUGH one another, including those on the margins of society. This is precisely why I committed to serve the homeless over the past 38 years with Bethesda Project. Jesus is crying out through them: When I was hungry For additional copies, call Daylesford Abbey (610) Fax: (610) PLEASE HELP KEEP OUR MAILING LIST CURRENT EDITOR Joseph Serano, O. Praem. Are you no longer interested in receiving our mailings? I have come to recognize that when compassion moves us to reach out to another - whether we like one another or not that graciousness of God is healing and blessing for both of us. This understanding is the source and fruit of our communion in Christ. Are you receiving more than one copy, or do you know someone interested in receiving a copy? As I begin this new phase of my ministry, I ask you to pray for me and my Norbertine brothers, that we may grow in fidelity to our mission to be ministers of reconciliation.

Nature is not mere matter but bears the depths of divine grace with in it. Yet, today we are confronted by the realities of global warming, war, mass immigration and political opposition. We are becoming detached from nature and intolerant of diverse views. Here we will take up the challenge of living in a sacramental world and explore it through the lens of Franciscan spirituality.

3 Introducing Abbot Domenic Rossi, O. Praem. by Joseph Serano, O. Praem. With opportunities for prayer and reflection, simply-furnished rooms, and delicious meals, we can help you design a retreat that fits your needs. Abbot Domenic and I share a birthday, although he s six years younger. (He was born in 1949). We also went to the same grade school (Saint Monica in South Philadelphia), high school (Bishop Neumann) and college (Saint Norbert College in DePere, Wisconsin). He joined the community in 1966 and took solemn vows in The following year, Frater Domenic started the Body of Christ Prayer Community at the Abbey. On Wednesday nights they gathered to praise the Lord in prayer and song and filled our nave. Each Sunday, Domenic served as cantor for our full worshipping community. (He has a gift for getting people to sing and he s also an excellent cook!) In 1974, with Fathers John Novielli and Blaise Krautsack, he was ordained a priest as he continued to lead the Prayer Community. Prayer with the Norbertine Community You are always invited to pray with the Norbertine community. Prayer times can be found online at or on the information sheet in your private room. What do we all need more of? Silence. When we enter into silence, we start to see things with greater clarity. When we make room for silence we make room for ourselves and God. Silence invites the unknown, the mystery of life, God s healing touch, the unfathomable - that which rarely has a chance to surface within us. Spiritual Direction Spiritual direction is a one-to-one meeting with a trained spiritual director providing the opportunity to grow in an awareness of God s movements within oneself. Contact Fr. Jim Garvey, Spiritual Direction Coordinator (610) ext. 102 to schedule a spiritual direction meeting during your retreat. We suggest a sliding scale of $40 to $60 a session which is shared between the director and the Spirituality Center. It is, however, our desire that no one be turned away for financial reasons, so partial scholarships are available. Stations of the Cross The Stations of the Cross, the Way of the Cross, the Way of Sorrows or the Via Crucis, all refer to the journey Jesus Christ traveled from the time he was condemned to death until his Body was placed in a burial tomb, concluding with His Easter Rising, the 15th Station. When we pray the Stations, it is not for the purpose of undertaking an historical remembering of what occurred but to show us what is happening now what is happening within each of us. The reason for praying the Stations of the Cross is to enter into the mystery of Jesus gift of himself for us to experience his means of transforming suffering through love. We do this through, with and in him, step by step, learning how this plan of love can be carried out by us today Schedule Your Retreat Retreats should be scheduled at least one week in advance by calling the Spirituality Center at (610) ext Sometimes you have to retreat to the Overnight stay: $92 (including 3 meals) sanctuary within Private room: Daytime use offering: $30 Individual meals: Breakfast $7, Lunch $10, Dinner $15 yourself, so that you can find the peace & strength to continue. 14 In 1979, with the support of many members of that Community, especially Phyllis Martin (who eventually became a Norbertine Oblate), Father Domenic founded Bethesda Project and its ministry to the homeless in Philadelphia. To quote its mission statement, Bethesda exists to find and care for the abandoned poor and be family for those who have none. It has now grown to serve over 2000 homeless persons per year. After twelve years of service as Director of Bethesda Project, Father Domenic was assigned to live and work with the Norbertine community (now Abbey) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. From 1991 to 1997, he ministered and eventually became pastor at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish. After several immersion programs in Costa Rica, he was able to celebrate the parish s weekly Spanish Mass. In 1997, Father Domenic was appointed pastor of Saint Norbert Parish in Paoli. From its beginnings in 1956, the parish had been staffed by Norbertines, but Domenic was the first pastor to live not in the rectory but with the community in the Abbey (which is about a mile away). Another first during his tenure was the hiring of a full time Youth Minister for high schoolers and young adults to supplement the good work being done in the parish grade school. He also began a Spanish Mass for the many Spanish-speaking families in the area. Towards the end of his time at the parish, Father Domenic had a sabbatical during which he wrote a personal memoir entitled Listening to God s Whispers. In 2010, when Father Michael Lee became pastor at Saint Norbert, Father Domenic returned to full time ministry at Bethesda. Then, in late 2013, he was appointed administrator of Saint Gabriel Parish in South Philadelphia and pastor in 2014, while continuing to lead Bethesda Project until July of On January 23, 2018, he became the fifth Abbot of Daylesford Abbey. The Norbertine community gathered in the Abbey church, with some fifty Associates and other good friends, for a Mass of the Holy Spirit. Our Abbot General from Rome, Thomas Handgratinger, presided and Abbot Gary Neville from DePere, our mother Abbey, gave the homily. After Mass, the professed Norbertines went to the Chapter Room, while many of our friends stayed in the nave and continued to pray for us. At four o clock, thanking God in song, we returned to the church where our new Abbot (elected for a nine year term) took the oath of office and embraced each of us as we promised him obedience and support. We just made it for Vespers at 4:30. Abbot Domenic will be formally blessed on Saturday, April 14th, by Archbishop Charles Chaput, and then on Sunday he will celebrate his first Pontifical Mass. 3

4 Christ s Humility & Greatness The Challenge & Mystery of the Cross Presenter: Father Maurice Avicolli, O. Praem. Dates: March 30 (Good Friday) & March 31 (Holy Saturday) Time: 10:30 am Offering : Free Will Good Friday confronts Christians with the challenge of the Cross: an instrument of brutality, torture and death, which Christ faced and assumed for the salvation of the world. Sacred Scripture proclaims: "By His Wounds We Are Healed!" Christ's crucifixion becomes a mystery to be pondered and prayed over. It was Jesus' yoke which God the Father laid upon His shoulders, to atone for and take away the sins of the world. Yet Jesus says to His followers: "My Yoke Is Easy And My Burden Is Light", thereby calling His Church to claim His yoke, i.e. to walk in the Master's footsteps by claiming, accepting and carrying the Cross of Christ - every day, come what may. It's a Mystery that entails humble submission to the Lord and the Way of the Lord, in all things and sometimes above all things. Holy Saturday, in this sense, enables Christians to appreciate our fundamental belief, the Paschal Mystery, which is God's Promise of Redemption/Salvation fulfilled through, with and in the Christ's Way Of The Cross, always unfolding in history by the fidelity of His Disciples. Spending These Sacred Days, Living at the Abbey Different people come to the Abbey for the Triduum with different expectations. Our ideas of the Triduum as a time of retreat differ. Some of us will often be busy preparing liturgies and attending to the details of hospitality. For some, this might be a time of reunion; for others, there is a desire for more quiet. We would appreciate your respecting the solemn nature of these days and refraining from loud conversation especially in the bedroom areas where the walls are thin. Weather permitting our grounds are good for quiet reflection. A floor plan of the first floor and our grounds is available.

5 MINISTERING TO THOSE IN 12-STEP RECOVERY A little know ministry is wrapping the arms of the Abbey around those who are in need of comfort and prayer, those who are burdened by the demands of poor health, or loneliness. Each week women of the Abbey meet to socialize, pray and create beautiful warm coverings that are called Prayer Shawls. Led by Grace Sicignano and Pat Lewis, the women volunteer time to be together to support each other in creating beautiful works of warmth such as capes, shawls, and blankets. RITA WOEHICKE, SSJ WEDNESDAY MARCH 14th, AM REGISTRATION These wonderfully woven pieces created by Abbey women are distributed with a leaflet of prayers selected by the group. Some members continue knitting or crocheting at home and bring in their creations. 1-4 PM CONFERENCE 4-5 PM NETWORKING Do you or somebody you know, need a shawl? Just ask a member of the Prayer Shawl team or the Abbey receptionist. With it come the love and prayers of these ladies. Every minister will encounter the challenge of ministering to those who struggle with addiction and recovery. What becomes necessary is a thorough and experiential understanding of the 12-Steps. This seminar prepares the minister s heart to recognize God s activity and support the movements of grace. The Steps are as much for the minister as for those the minister serves. Here are some of the places to which the shawls have been distributed : Saint Gabriel (a parish served by the Norbertines), Visitation parish in NE Philadelphia, Saint Malachy s (Sisters of Life), Mary s Shelter (a home for Moms in need, located in Bethlehem). Some Prayer Shawls have also gone to Camilla Hall (retired IHM Sisters) and have been shared by Abbey Stephen Ministers who are care-receivers. CONFERENCE GENERAL ADMISSION $50 RELIGIOUS & CLERGY $35 STUDENTS $10 SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE Words of thanks have come in to the women and they are grateful that God s love has been shared. Want to learn how to knit? The ladies of the Prayer Shawl Ministries are more that eager to teach you. The gift of learning to knit is one of those skills that you will be able to share with others in their time of need and always seems to be appreciated, particularly during those difficult moments in life. Rita Woehlcke, S.S.J. is the Director of the SSJ Associates in Mission of Philadelphia. Her recent work was in spiritual direction, retreats and programs for personal and ministerial growth. In addition to Masters degrees in Literature and Pastoral Counseling, Sr. Rita holds a Graduate Certificate in Spiritual Direction.

6 May Our Brother David Lawlor Rest in Peace by Joseph McLaughlin, O. Praem. On August 17, 1962 Thomas Lawlor entered the Norbertine Order at the first Daylesford Priory, on Berwyn-Paoli Road, along with nine other postulants, two of them also named "Thomas" - Thomas Dunphy from Neumann and Thomas Urian from Archmere. On that same day fourteen postulants entered in DePere, three of them also with the name "Thomas." All twenty-four were vested with the white habit on August 28, and all received new names. Thomas Lawlor received the name "David." David professed Simple Vows on August 28, 1964 at Saint Norbert Parish and was ordained a priest at Daylesford Abbey on April 3, Father David's first assignment was teaching at Bishop Neumann High School in South Philadelphia, his alma mater. However, by 1978 he was serving as a counselor at Alina Lodge in Blairstown, NJ. For over 35 years David was a "friend of Bill W," and was very devoted to his self-care, and helping others get the care they needed. Father David was chaplain at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby, PA, where many other Norbertines of Daylesford have served. He ministered in parishes in the Diocese of Harrisburg. Some parishioners from Mount Joy in Lancaster County, where David was pastor, attended his interment at Daylesford on January 20, While living at Daylesford Father David served as cellarer for ten years, working closely with the kitchen staff, especially Mary Kenworthy, to provide meals for the Norbertines and for the guests and retreatants who came to the Abbey. He also was novice master, while working as a counselor for Mustard Seed. In his more recent years Father David was a devoted beekeeper, tending the honeybees on the Abbey property and providing honey for the community and for friends of the Abbey. Early in the morning David would make the sugar water needed to feed the bees. Up to his last days he would go out to the apiary to tend the hives. Thus, the First Reading at David's Funeral Mass was the message of Moses about the Promised Land: "a land of wheat and barley, a land of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, of live trees and honey" (Deuteronomy 8:6). Father David went to Paoli Hospital early on December 30. Father John Joseph Novielli anointed him at mid-morning. He died peacefully at the hospital at 3:00 PM in the presence of Father Maurice Avicolli who took great care of David. David suffered much from his cancer but maintained his humor and patience to the end. The Mass of Christian Burial took place on Thursday, January 4, 2018, the "Eleventh Day of Christmas. Father David is survived by his sisters, Mrs. Kathleen Mulcahy and Sister Frances Lawlor, VHM. He is also survived by his Norbertine confreres, including three classmates: Fathers Eugene Gries (Albuquerque), John MacCarthy (DePere), and Joseph McLaughlin (Daylesford). Four Evening Presentations Father Joseph Serano, O. Praem. Monday, February 19 - RSVP by Monday, February 12 Lent: Preparing To Renew the Promises of our Baptism... Lent began as a retreat for catechumens, a final preparation for being baptized at the Easter Vigil. Soon the church realized that it was also an opportunity for those already baptized to renew and deepen their understanding of the Dying and Rising that is at the heart of Discipleship. Monday, February 26 - RSVP by Monday, February 19 Lent: A Season of Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving... These three traditional Lenten practices help us remember that we are created by God (and so we pray), broken by sin (and so we fast) but redeemed by grace (and so we give to others as God has given to us). Monday, March 5 - RSVP by Monday, February 26 Time: 5:40 pm (dinner) Lent: Remembering our Fundamental Call to Join the Communion of Saints... In the final analysis, we are all called to be holy/whole, indeed called to be saints. Yes, that entails behavior ("doing") but first it entails identity ("being true to our best selves"). Baptized into Christ, we are called to be His Body in the world. Monday, March 12 - RSVP by Monday, March 5 A Closer Look at Mary: the First Christian, the First Saint... The Catholic Tradition has always seen in the Blessed Virgin a glimpse of the "Church at its Best". Thus, not only does Mary help us to understand the Christ whom she bore in her womb, but she also helps us to understand what it means to follow Him, to be Christian. registrations@daylesford.org 6:30 pm (presentation) Offering: One Session: $25 (dinner) $15 (presentation only) Four Sessions: $90 (dinner) $50 (presentation only) Phone: (610) ext. 133 Fax: (610) Online: Winter

Dinner Dance & Silent Auction For 49 consecutive years the Abbey has hosted many fun-filled Dinner Dances. The committees, venues, and places have changed but what has always been consistent, is the coming together of Norbertines and Abbey friends for a night of celebration to open the Thanksgiving - Christmas Seasons. Our 2017 evening followed this wonderful tradition. Under the leadership of Michael & Linda Sanderson, the Committee was generous, talented and very committed to their distinctive responsibilities. Aronimink Country Club was a perfect setting. We Norbertines are very grateful & Linda Sanderson (Chairs) (Right) to the Committee and to all our benefactors and Rev.Mike John Joseph Novielli, O. Praem.(Moderator), Doug & Barbara Bigford (Co-Chair) friends who supported our dance and silent auction, which netted close to $50,000, for the Abbey. May God bless you.

8 Last year made twenty years since our re-founding in A lot of financial events have happened over those two decades, but I d like to mention just three. Under Abbot Ronald Rossi, we renovated the Abbey s original wing and created what we call the Spirituality Center. It was a $ 7,000,000+ project, with almost half the money coming from generous benefactors, past and present, and the remainder borrowed via a bank mortgage and an interest-free loan from our mother Abbey in Wisconsin. Then, under Abbot Richard Antonucci, we celebrated our fiftieth anniversary of independence from Wisconsin and conducted a campaign to endow our 50th Anniversary Fund, which entailed gifts totaling $ 1,800,000. Beginning under Abbot Ronald and ending under Abbot Richard, we sold 42 of our 130 acres to help relieve our indebtedness and to fund much of our Retirement Plan. When the last of the 55 houses to be built on the 42 acres is sold the development is called Chapel Hill we expect to be almost debt free and to have our Retirement Plan close to 70% funded. Clearly God has blessed us in many ways over the past twenty years. But, we immediately have to add the simple truth that those blessings have usually taken the form of generous support from people like yourselves. For, as the accompanying numbers & charts demonstrate, more than one-third of our income comes from donations and fund-raising and that is to say nothing of the hundreds of volunteers who help us throughout the year or the baskets of food collected at Mass each Sunday and delivered to needy individuals and families in both Philadelphia and Chester County. The Norbertine community of Daylesford Abbey is grateful for your many kindnesses and goodness toward us and those we seek to serve. Indeed, as our Order has done for almost 900 years, our community Eucharist each day is offered for a simple intention: in thanksgiving for our families, friends and benefactors and in petition that the good Lord may bless you all with the gifts of health, happiness and peace.
