"My Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Welcome to our humble site and enjoy your stay with us. We invite you to check out our many informative pages."
We Need Your Help! 5-31-08 NOTICE From Our Lady of The Most Blessed Sacrament Monastery To Our Dear Friends and Benefactors: We have great news to share with all of you. At present the Monastery will remain. We were able to sell the majority of our land and pay down the mortgage. The payments are less and with your help manageable. The Lord has heard our cry once again. Looks like we can unpack. We have left the previous notice below to validate the power of prayer. Perhaps the Lord is not done with us yet. His purpose will be our goal. Praise be the Lord! (It is with heavy heart that we need to inform you of the fact that the Monastery and property and many of the religious treasures will be going up for sale. We have struggled since November 3, 1997 to keep going. Over the years we have climbed many hills and mountains of difficulty and God has carried us through. Perhaps He now has a new mission for us. Only He knows. Because of the general decline in the economy, donations have decreased drastically and the Transitional Home of St. Kateri Program has not succeeded due to local community programs being cut back on their budgets. These programs would have provided us with clients. Of course, we believe in miracles and we need to remain open to them, but especially to God's will. We are so grateful to those who have helped throughout the past 10 years. Please continue to keep us in your prayers and thoughts, as well as with financial support as we look for a possible new and affordable location. No matter what happens, there will still be a Monastery somewhere, but on a smaller scale. Please keep us in your prayers and we will keep you posted.) Sincerely in Christ, Abbot +Martin Your financial assistance is greatly needed and appreciated. Please make your tax-deductable contribution to: Little Brothers of Jesus SAVE THE MONASTERY 4977 N. Chippewa Rd. Coleman, MI 48618 HOLY TRINITY CATHEDRAL As of August 6, 2006 our humble monastery was designated as a Cathedral. See the news section. UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH in AMERICA Slava Isusu Krystu! Praised Be Jesus Christ! A pioneer monastic community for Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, contemplative prayer, and service to community.A house of prayer for ALL PEOPLE; an Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, Christian community. _________________________________________________ SERVING OUR EUCHARISTIC LORD, JESUS CHRIST! The Eucharist is the gift of Christ's love - a fire in a world that has become cold and indifferent. It is like a magnet. The Lord draws us to Himself and gently transforms us. Our monastic community is dedicated in every way to our Eucharistic Jesus. He is the center of our life from which all else flows. He is our inspiration and cause of our spirituality. The Eucharistic Sacrifice of Calvary, the Liturgy of the Hours: Morning Prayer, Midday Prayer, Sharing in the Word of God; The Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, etc... all give form to our mission of prayer. But all of this in His sacred presence as we gaze upon His Holy Presence in Adoration. This rhythmical pattern of living creates the contemplative context in our lives. Our contemplation does not make us cloistered. Our life is modeled after the Holy Family at Nazareth. Our life is simple and totally trusting in His Divine Mercy that flows like a river from His Eucharistic Heart. We become the very feet and hands of Our Eucharistic Lord and Saviour. We are His instruments to serve as He bids. We are Pioneers in a new frontier amidst those who no longer believe in the truth. Truth has become false and falsehood has become truth. What was true for our Fathers remains true for us. Faith is still faith and truth is still truth. JESUS CHRIST, the same yesterday, today and forever! PERPETUAL ADORATION AND ABANDONMENT TO GOD The Blessed Sacrament is the LIVING FOUNTAIN OF LIFE where we drink in the love of CHRIST WHO alone quenches our thirst to be loved. A Little Brother of Jesus realizes that every moment spent in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament will leave his soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, because the Blessed Sacrament is Jesus, our Risen Savior, with all the glory and beauty of His Resurrection flowing out on those who come into His Eucharistic Presence. Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the easiest person in the world to be with. Even if you cannot pray very well, or even if you do not say anything at all, the mere fact that you come to Him in the Blessed Sacrament is in itself a prayer of faith that will greatly benefit your soul. For just as you cannot be exposed to the sun without receiving its vivifying rays, so too you cannot be exposed to the Son of God, present in the Blessed Sacrament, without receiving His Divine Rays of enriching graces, mercy, love, life and peace. Jesus hides His beauty and glory in the Blessed Sacrament so that He may bathe your soul with His everlasting beauty and glory each moment you spend with Him in the Sacrament of infinite Love. In this Sacrament of His love, we find that it is His very Sacred Heart, living and dwelling in our midst and calling out to each of us to come to Him in total abandonment. That the Holy Eucharist is the person of our loving Savior, whose Divine and Merciful Heart is on fire with a deep, personal love for each of us.___________________________________________ ORTHODOX NEWS Click Here to Join Orthodox News We Need Your Help!
